Sample Citation and Introduction to Citing Parts of Journal Articles (Chapter 1: Journals: B)

«Rather than citing an entire journal article, a part of an article such as a table may be cited. In general, most modern articles have standardized to three types of parts: figures, tables, and appendixes. However, other names may be found for parts, including section, chart, graph, box, and photograph. Use the name provided in the article.

»Because a reference should start with the individual or organization responsible for the journal article start with the article information, then follow it with the information about the part.

»Journal articles frequently contain charts, figures, and other illustrative material that has been reproduced with permission from other sources. Do not cite these as parts using the instructions presented here. Consult the original publication and cite the particular item from there.

»Note that PubMed cites only entire articles; you will not see a citation to a part in MEDLINE/PubMed.
