  • If no DOI is assigned and you retrieved it online, include the home page URL for the journal.  Use this format:  Retrieved from http://www.xxxxxxxx
  • If each issue of a journal begins on page 1, give the issue number in parentheses immediately after the volume number.
  • If your citation wraps to a second or third line, indent these lines.
