How do I cite a medical journal within a website?

Question

I am doing a case study for nursing school and I am trying to cite a journal with in a website. It needs to be in APA format but I am not positive how to do this or where to find the information. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

If the journal is published in hard copy form then you cite it as if you had read it in hard copy form.

eg:

Bloggs, J. M. (2008). Citing Journals. <italics> Journal of Citations, 21 <end italics> (12), 12-24.

In text citation would be (Bloggs, 2008) or Bloggs (2008).

If it is an internet only journal then you cite it as follows:

Bloggs, J. M. (2008). Citing Journals. <italics> Journal of Citations, 21 <End italics> (12), 12-24. Retrieved 25 August, 2008, from www.journalofcitations.com.au

In text citation would be (Bloggs, 2008) or Bloggs (2008).

-Please note that YA doesn't allow for html input so i was unable to enter in italics. I have only accounted for online journals, there are various other methods of citations and referencing for other internet based information.
