- place published
- date published
Other information to pay attention for, but not necessarily applicable all the time: - edition
- journal title
- anthology title
- URL
- database name

- Remember, citing articles from databases is different than citing the print version. TIP: All databases have a Help
link. Check to see if the databases gives you the format for citing an
article you've found. For example, any EBSCO database gives you a link
in the record that displays the article you are looking at in various
citation styles. Just look for the yellow page in the record screen
