Electronic Databases
For items retrieved from a subscription database, add the name of the database and an accession number following the facts of publication, or whatever itentifying information is available in the database listing: a DOI for the article; the name of the database and the number assigned by the database; or a stable URL for the article. For example, if you accessed an article through one of the article databases online, such as JSTOR or Social Sciences Index, follow this guideline:
Author Last, Author First. Title of Article. Title of Journal. Volume, issue number (year of publication): page range.
DOI or database name and article number or stable URL.
Example for a bibliography of an article retrieved from JSTOR:
Nolan, Justin M. and Mary Jo Schneider. "Medical Tourism in the Backcountry: Alternative Health and Healing in the Arkansas Ozarks."
Signs 36, no. 2 (2011): 319-326. doi: 10.1086/655911.
