The complete date of the magazine article should be written in the “month day, year” format. The publication date may consist of a complete date (January 1, 2009), a period that spans multiple months (March – April 2009), or simply a month and year (February 2009). Give whatever publication date information is available. End the citation with a period.
Smith, John, and Jane Doe. “Obama inaugurated as President.” Time, January – February 2009.
If the article was published online, include the web address of the article, and then place the word “accessed” and the date on which you accessed the website (written in the format of “month day, year”) in parentheses. Conclude the citation with a period after the parentheses. For an article found in a database, cite it the same way you would an article published online: place the database URL in place of the website URL and cite the date on which you accessed the article.
