MLA+Document+Formating

For all online scholarly journals, provide the author(s) name(s), the name of the article in quotation marks, the title of the publication in italics, all volume and issue numbers, and the year of publication.
 * An Article in an Online Scholarly Journal **

MLA requires a page range for articles that appear in Scholarly Journals. If the journal you are citing appears exclusively in an online format (i.e. there is no corresponding print publication) that does not make use of page numbers, use the abbreviation //n. pag.// to denote that there is no pagination for the publication.
 * Article in an Online-only Scholarly Journal **

Dolby, Nadine. “Research in Youth Culture and Policy: Current Conditions and Future Directions.” //Social Work and Society: The International Online-Only Journal// 6.2 (2008): n. pag. Web. 20 May 2009.

Cite articles in online scholarly journals that also appear in print as you would a scholarly journal in print, including the page range of the article. Provide the medium of publication that you used (in this case, //Web//) and the date of access. Wheelis, Mark. "Investigating Disease Outbreaks Under a Protocol to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention." //Emerging Infectious Diseases// 6.6 (2000): 595-600. Web. 8 Feb. 2009.
 * Article in an Online Scholarly Journal That Also Appears in Print **

Cite articles from online databases (e.g. LexisNexis, ProQuest, JSTOR, ScienceDirect) and other subscription services just as you would print sources. Since these articles usually come from periodicals, be sure to consult the appropriate sections of the Works Cited: Periodicals page, which you can access via its link at the bottom of this page. In addition to this information, provide the title of the database italicized, the medium of publication, and the date of access.
 * An Article from an Online Database (or Other Electronic Subscription Service) **


 * Note **: Previous editions of the MLA Style Manual required information about the subscribing institution (name and location). This information is no longer required by MLA.
