| References | Miller, T. (2019). Social learning. Journal of Psychology, 50(2), 360–375. https://doi.org/xx.xxx |
| Include the volume and issue number if available. Do not use Vol. - the example above illustrates the correct way to cite volume 50, issue number 2. The in-text citation should indicate only the page that is being referenced; the references should include the first and last pages of the entire article. | |
| A print or online journal article with two authors | |
| In-text | (Garcia & Patel, 2022, p. 12) |
| References | Garcia, M., & Patel, S. (2022). Emotion and memory. Memory Studies, 30(1), 1–15. |
| If an article has more than two authors you may choose to include only the first author followed by et al. which means "and all the others." Be sure to list authors in the order they appear in the article. | |
| A print journal article found in a subscription database | |
| In-text | (Cohn, 1997) |

| If your teacher requires it, include the name of the database you used and the date of access. Do not use "vol" - the example above is from volume 47 number 11. | |
