Websites Journals Journal Article in Print Textbooks Direct Quotations e.g. Speaking to your Supervisor What if I Can’t Find Some Information for the Reference?When using an article from a journal in print, the order is similar to that of an online journal, but there are a few differences within the reference list order. Note that the place of publication can usually be found on the inside cover of the journal.
In-text citations
We use as an example the article ‘Mental Stimulation as a Stress Reliever in Patients,’ found in the New Zealand Veterinary Nurse Journal. The following examples show how to cite this article with in-text citations, depending on the situation:

Reference list
The order for the reference list is as follows:
Journal article in print: surname, initial date of publication, ‘Title’, sponsorship, place of sponsorship, vol. number, edition number, page number.
So, using the article ‘Mental Stimulation as a Stress Reliever in Patients’ as an example, you would reference it as follows:
Greenfield, S. (2012) Mental Stimulation as a Stress Reliever in Patients. The New Zealand Veterinary Nurse Journal, Christchurch, New Zealand, 18:62, pp.6-7.
