What's the difference
between a journal and a magazine?
Journals are often
published by an academic or professional organization to advance
knowledge in a particular discipline. Journals usually contain:
-
Scholarly
articles with abstracts and references (footnotes, in-text
citations, bibliography)
-
Scholarly
vocabulary, including words and ideas that might be understood only
by other experts on the topic
-
Few photos,
pictures, or ads
Magazines appeal to a
general audience and usually:
-
Do not include
footnotes or references
-
Include pictures,
colorful design elements, decorative fonts, and ads
How
do I identify the different citation components for a web site?
-
URL: Enter
the information that appears in the Address field of your web
browser. If the URL is short enough that a reader could easily type
it into a browser, select Unique URL.
When
a URL is very long and complex, you may provide the URL of the
site's Search Page, if there is one. If you do this, be sure
that the reader can find the specific Web page you are citing with a
logical search from the search screen (for example, by searching on
the author's name or the document's title).
If no search page exists, cite the home page of the site instead,
and then provide the Path (sequence of links to click on) to
the content you are citing.
-
Author:
Frequently web sites do not name an author. If that's the case,
leave that section of the NoodleBib form blank.
-
Name of web
site: Enter the name of the entire site, not just the title of
the page. Usually the site name is found on the home page, and
sometimes it's the portion of the URL that appears before .com,
.org, or .net. For example, the site name for
http://www.nhvweb.net/NHHS/
is North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District.
-
Page or article
title: Enter the title of the particular page you are citing.
Frequently the title will be at the top of the web page. For
example, the page name for
http://www.nhvweb.net/NHHS/ is North Hunterdon High School.
-
Sponsoring organization: Often,
this field will be blank. If there is a sponsoring organization, you
may find it on the home page or in the About section of the web
site.
