Comments
- For online newspaper articles you include the URL and for printed newspaper articles the section part.
- In the in-text citation you only include year of publication but in the reference list entry you include the specific date of publication.
- Include page number (if available). Do not use the abbreviations "p." or "pp."
- Sometimes other people than the author express their views in an article, for example in interviews. This does not change the appearance of the citation. The author of the article is still indicated in the in-text citation and reference list entry. To make it clear whose views you are citing, you can mention it in the text. For example: Dr. Luis A. Diaz Jr. of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center says he believes this is the first time this has happened in the history of cancer (Kolata, 2022).
