Article from a Database
(This includes newspaper/magazine articles from a database.)
Remember to include the journal name and database name (e.g. Proquest, Academic Search Complete) in italics. The citation should also include the DOI (digital object identifier). Unlike a database link, which can expire, a DOI is like a unique barcode assigned to an article that will not change.
Basic Format:
Last Name, First Name. "Title of Article." Title of Journal, volume number, issue number, Date of Publication, Page Numbers, Database Name, DOI.
Beeckmans, Luce. "The Adventures of the French Architect Michel Ecochard in Post-independence Dakar: A Transnational Development Expert Drifting Between Commitment and Expediency." Journal of Architecture, vol. 19, no. 6, Nov. 2014, pp. 849-871. ProQuest, doi: 10.1080/13602365.2014.982146.
If you do not see a DOI number include a link to the article. Some databases have a button that gives you a "permalink" which is a permanent link to the article that will not expire. Use this whenever possible.

If there are three or more authors, list only the first author then use the phrase "et al." (Latin for "and others") instead of listing all the remaining authors.

Article from Online Journal
If you are citing an article that is online-only (does not appear in print) and does not have page numbers then leave the page numbers out. You can include the date of access but that is optional.

Magazine Example:
Vick, Karl. "The Home of the Future." Time, 3 April 2017, pp. 46-51.

Citing a newspaper is similar to citing a magazine article but newspapers usually have a different style of page number. If newspaper is the late or early edition (usually marked on the front page), you make a note of it after the article title.
