Journal Article in Print

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.

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:

As described by Greenfield (2012), understanding how the use of behavioural techniques can reduce stress in practice is a simple of cost effective way to improve our patient’s welfare.

By reducing stress, we provide the patent with a more positive experience while in our practices (Greenfield, 2012).

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.
