Accessing a journal article

Click on View Article to be taken to the page that has the article. This will be an external link that opens in a new tab.

Citing a journal article

Should you want to cite an article, three standard citation formats are available: MLAAPA, and Chicago. In your search results, click on the Citation button, then the format you want, and the catalog will make it available for copying.

Desktop mode

Find the button to the right of the article title:

cite

If you open an article’s detailed display (by clicking on the title), the button will display in a slightly different location, but the Citation button will still display to the right of the article title.

Mobile and accessibility modes

Find the button in the “three dot” menu to the right of the article title:

dots

Select Citation.

Cite mobile

If you open an article’s detailed display (by clicking on the title), the three dot menu will display in a slightly different location, but will still be to the right.

3. Using the A-Z Journal Title Finder

The A to Z Journal Title Finder tool allows for both browsing and keyword searching of journal titles. A link to the journal finder is available on the front page of each library catalog.
