  1. How to Cite a Journal Article With More than One Author.

    • 1

      Write the author's names in the same order as they are listed on the title page of the article. It is important to list them in this identical order because often the order indicates the magnitude of their contributions. Write the names in this fashion: "last name, first name." Each author should be separated by a comma, and the last author will have an ampersand before his name. For example, if your journal article was written by Joan Weber, Alexander Hall and Jason Gibway, your citation--at this point--would look like this:Weber, J., Hall, H., & Gibway, J.

    • 2

      Follow the authors' names with the year that the journal was published and a comma. You only need the year for Harvard style, not the month or day. If your journal was published in 2007, then your citation should now look like this:Weber, J., Hall, H., & Gibway, J. 2007,

    • 3

      Place the title of the article in quotation marks, followed by a comma. The comma will be outside the quotation marks. If your article's title is "Gateway to Protein Powered Cyclists," then your citation should now look like this:Weber, J., Hall, H., & Gibway, J. 2007, "Gateway to Protein Powered Cyclists",

    • 4

      Follow the article title with the name of the journal in italics or underlined.If your word processor will not allow you to format in this manner, use the underscore key to indicate an underline. If the name of the journal is "Cycling Tomorrow," then your citation will now look like this:Weber, J., Hall, H., & Gibway, J. 2007, "Gateway to Protein Powered Cyclists", _Cycling Tomorrow_,

    • 5

      Add the volume number, issue number and pages that the article appears on.Each item should be separated by a comma, and the page numbers should be followed by a period. If your journal was volume 283, issue number 1 and the article appeared on pages 56-59, then your completed citation should look like this:Weber, J., Hall, H., & Gibway, J. 2007, "Gateway to Protein Powered Cyclists", _Cycling Tomorrow_, vol. 283, no. 1, pp. 56-9.
