Journals and Newspapers

1. Journal articles (CMOS 15.9): in-text citation

The in-text citation for journal articles contains the last name of the author of the article, the year of publication, and page numbers of the specific pages referenced if required.

Sample Sentence:

In Benjamin Britten’s opera Albert Herring, the vocal part of twelve-year-old Harry “primarily consists of notated, hyper-refined shouting” (Zakresky 2012, 512).

Journal articles (CMOS 15.9): reference list

The reference list entry for journal articles includes the author of the article, the full date of the publication (including the month and day or season if available), the title of the article in quotation marks, the title of the journal in italics, the volume number, issue number, and the page range. While the year of publication appears as the second element, the month/day/season of the journal issue appears in parentheses following the issue number.
