- Capitalize only the first word of the article's title and subtitle. All other words should be in lowercase except for proper nouns.

- Do not use quotation marks around article titles.

- Italicize magazine titles. All main words in the magazine title should be capitalized.

- If your citation includes a DOI or URL, do not end the citation with a period.

Article in a Print Magazine

Example:  

Magazine Article Accessed Online

APA does not distinguish between articles accessed through a database and articles accessed via the Web. Cite the article as you would a print article, followed by:

• The URL of the magazine's home page (not the database in which you retrieved it). You may have to do a quick internet search to locate the URL for the journal home page.
• Do not include page numbers for magazine articles accessed online.
