In addition to books, the most common source of information used for history papers is articles published in a scholarly journals.

First Reference The first time you refer to a journal article in a footnote, list all of the following information:

• Author's full name followed by a comma
• Title of article followed by a comma, all within quotation marks
• Title of the journal, underlined or in italics.
• Volume number of the journal, and, in parentheses, the year of the volume followed by a colon
• Page number(s) cited followed by a period

FOR EXAMPLE:

1. I. C. Campbell, "Culture Contact and Polynesian Identity in the European Age," Journal of World History 8 (1997): 46.

Second Reference For the second (or third, etc.) reference to the same article, you need include only the author's last name and the page number.

FOR EXAMPLE:

2. Campbell, 47.

However, if you refer in your notes to another article by the same author, then your second and subsequent references to both titles require the inclusion of a short title in your footnote or endnote so that the reader will know which of the two articles you are referring to.
