WHO. (WHEN). WHAT. WHERE.
The American Psychological Association has produced a Quick reference guide to the 7th edition that outlines how to reference books, book chapters and journal/periodical articles.
Sources that are published on an ongoing basis, either regularly or not, such as journals, magazines, newspapers, blogs, etc, are known as periodicals. References to articles published in periodicals will generally follow a similar pattern to book chapters in that the details of the main work in which the article was published goes into the WHERE element of the reference. Omit/adapt any element - as applicable to your source.
Formatting: the title of the article itself is not italicised but the periodical title is. The title of the periodical should be reproduced exactly as it appears in the cited work. The volume number is italicised but not the issue number.
