• This example differs from referencing a PDF because the online html version of an article won’t have page numbers to refer to.
• Instead of citing a page number, refer to the paragraph number. Don’t worry if it isn’t exact; just give a good estimation of where to find the quote you used.
• Any journal which requires your university login should be cited as an ‘Article from a database’
• A journal that belongs to a database will always have visible information about the database name, i.e. ProQuest, JStor, Expanded Academic, Cambridge Journals, etc.
• If you are unsure whether or not the journal is in a database, contact the librarians at your campus library
• For clarification of this style rule see section 15.15.3 of R.M. Ritter, Oxford Style Manual (Oxford: OUP, 2003).
