What's Abt page numbers are like(56-65,100) in print magazine and volume (issue) 62(5) then how will write?

[@jasonhorn901]

It looks like you've answered your own question. If pages are separated (which often happens in newspapers), and you are citing the print version (which is far less common now), you'd do something like (1, 4-5), separating the different ranges. I have another video on journal article specifically. Those will be formatted as you have, with the volume number italicized.

after the article title, what is next? I kinda don't get it.. I mean what proper names?

[@jasonhorn901]

The article title will be followed by the name of the magazine/newspaper :-) The name of the magazine/newspaper is treated as a proper name; thus, it gets title-case capitalization (as opposed to sentence case). Hope this helps 🙂

[@belenh.1093]

I wanted to ask you for an APA citation (7th edition). I wanted to refer to the title of an article from a magazine within my paper. Is it okay to write the title in quotation marks followed by the author’s name and year in parentheses? For instance, “How to teach” (Hellen, 2009)

[@jasonhorn901]

Typically, you don't need to mention the title of the article, but if you did, you would put it in quotes and use title case. For example, you might say Horn (2020), in the article "How to Reference a Magazine," suggests that there is no need to include an article title in an in-text citation. Does that make sense?

Good

[@barbarajacinto2003]

but in the manual they dont say to capitalize....

[@jasonhorn901]

Thanks so much for your reply Barbara. APA (per the seventh edition, section 9.19) uses sentence case capitalization (see section 6.17 of the manual) for the titles of works. This means that you'll capitalize the first word, the first word after a colon, proper names, and initializations and acronyms. However, the names of newspapers and magazines are proper names, similar to trade names (see 6.13) and are therefore put in title case capitalization (see section 9.25). Hope this helps :-)

[@katejoyce8561]

what if there's no author?

[@jasonhorn901]

Great question! It depends on the context. If it is attributed to an organization, such as the Reuters or the Associated Press, they you would give them authorship credit. If the publisher takes credit (which the BBC often does as an example), then they get authorship credit. In this case, you don't need to put the name of the publication after the article title as you would be duplicating the information. Hope this helps :-)
