What is publication name on a magazine?

The title of an academic paper or journal article should be put inside quotation marks. If the journal is then named, use italics or underlining for the name of the journal.

Movies & Television

Peter Rachor was quoted in an article, “Thinking Outside the Cube,” in the September 4 edition of the Portland Tribune.

Books

Use italics for book titles (including textbooks, almanacs, and dictionaries). Use quotations for book chapters or individual selections.

UP alumna Brigid Schulte’s book Overwhelmed: Work, Love And Play When No One Has The Time was named a best-seller on Amazon.

In the text, Collection of Great American Short Stories, my favorite is “The Hills Are Like White Elephants.”

Magazines/Newspapers

Italicize the name of the publication. Do not capitalize “magazine” unless it’s part of the publication’s title or masthead.

Time magazine, Newsweek magazine

Capitalize the word “the” only if it’s part of the periodical’s title.

The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Beacon,

When listing several publications or periodicals, lower case the initial “the” and eliminate additional references of “the” from the list.

We read the New York Times, Oregonian and Wall Street Journal every morning.

Movies & Television

Movie titles are italicized.

Forrest Gump beat The Shawshank Redemption for Best Picture in 1995.

Television series are italicized, but individual episodes are set off by quotation marks.

In the Friends episode "The One Where Ross is Fine," Ross is not fine.

Music

Titles of long musical compositions (such as operas) are italicized as are musical albums. Shorter songs are enclosed in quotation marks.

Handel's Messiah is performed at Christmas each year.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is the most famous song from Queen's A Night at the Opera.

Different article types are cited in slightly different ways. So, first determine what kind of article you're citing: is it from a magazine, newspaper or peer-reviewed journal? (Not sure how to tell? Click here for tips.)

Next, visit the style guide that you'll be using, and see which pieces of information should be included in your article's citation (author, date, article title, journal title, volume, issue, page numbers, doi), and in what order.

Then, find the pieces of information in the article's full text. Each periodical will format its articles a bit differently, but here are some tips on where to look:

Author's name: Usually toward the top of the first page (beneath the article title). Sometimes at the end of the article.
Publication date: Usually on the first page. Look near the article title or at the bottom of the first page.
Article title: Always on the first page, toward the top.
Periodical title: May appear at the top or bottom of the first page. Sometimes repeated at the bottom of subsequent pages (with volume, issue and page numbers).
Volume and issue numbers: In peer-reviewed articles, usually listed right after the periodical title.
Page numbers: The page range for the entire article is often listed right after the volume and issue numbers. If not, find the first page number, then scroll to the end of the article to find the last page number. Page numbers may be in the top corners (right or left), but can also be found at the bottom of each page.
DOI: May be at the top or bottom of the first page.
