How to Cite The Journal for Nurse Practitioners

"The Journal of Nurse Practitioners" is a monthly publication that provides research and peer-reviewed policy articles regarding regulatory and legislative issues affecting the nursing profession. Because of its credibility and wide range of content, medical students can use the journal as a source for academic research papers. However, it must be properly cited in both the body of the paper and its reference page. One way to do this is by adhering to the Modern Language Association (MLA) style, whose guidelines have been widely adopted by schools and academic departments for over 50 years.
