Style notes for this reference type
- For weekly magazines, give the day and month e.g. 18 April. For monthly/bimonthly/quarterly magazines give the month or other descriptor e.g. October-November, Spring.
- Magazine names are Italicised. Use maximal capitalisation - capitalise the first and all major words of the publication's name. Give the publication's name in full.
- Article titles are contained within single quotation marks and are not italicised. Use minimal capitalisation - capitalise only the first word of the article title and any proper nouns. Include both article title and subtitle regardless of length e.g. 'Still moving: between cinema and photography'.
- There is no comma or full-stop between the author's names and year of publication. Commas are used to separate all other elements. The reference entry finishes with a full-stop.
