- If you cannot locate an issue number, simply don’t include it in the citation.
Online magazine article:

When creating an online magazine citation, keep in mind:
- The volume and issue number aren’t always on the same page as the article. Check out the other parts of the website before leaving it out of the citation.
- The list of references should not be numbered. If there are 2 or more authors alike, in addition to alphabetical order, the publisher year also should be ordered. In order to avoid the pitfalls of the various sources listed, the beginning of each reference is 0.5 cm protrusion.
