(CSE 8th; 29.3.7.1)
Bibliography citations for print journal articles, microfilm and microform are all formatted in the same way.
Required citation elements include author(s), article title, journal title, publication date, volume and (if available) issue number, and article page range.
Authors names are provided in the order they appear in the publication cited. For publications with 10 or fewer authors, all are listed in the citation. Any authors listed after the 10th are represented with "et al".
In contrast with book citations, publisher and place of publication are not included in journal article citations. Also, although volume and issue numbers are included, the words "volume" and "number" are not used. Journal titles are abbreviated to save space using the ISO 4-based “List of Title Word Abbreviations" (i.e. LTWA) from the ISSN International Centre . The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is a good source for obtaining STEM journal title abbreviations.

Generally speaking, journal articles accessed electronically online should contain all of the information included in a print citation along with the date the article was accessed, any listed modification dates and any appropriate notes (i.e. a stable URL and/or a digitial object identification (DOI) number).
Required citation elements include editor(s), publication date, title, place of publication and publisher. If a book has been printed in more than one edition, the edition information is also required.

Audio-visual (AV) journal articles are classified as part of the material consisdered "audiovisuals" in the CSE style guide. However, due to the primacy of journal articles in scientific communications, AV journal articles are presented here in the "journal" section of this guide.
AV journal articles are cited using a modified version of the format followed for traditional journal articles. But because AV articles require specialized equipment for access, these additional requirements are noted by a "medium designator". If deemed appropriate, brief descriptive note is also included.
