- If the paging of a magazine or newspaper
article is continued elswhere in the issue, include only the first page followed
by a plus sign (ex. 25+.).
- If the encyclopedia does not arrange its
articles alphabetically, treat the encyclopedia article as
if it were a book article. Specific volume and page numbers are cited
in the text, not in the list of references.
- Gale Reference Book: cite the original source being reprinted as shown
under Book, Journal Article, Newspaper or
Magazine Article, etc. The example shows a Magazine Article.
Then include the citation information
for the reference book.

page, the name of the

will provide different information. Include the range of pages
(ex. 25-28.); or the starting page followed
by a hyphen, a blank space, and a period
(ex. 64- .); or the total number of pages
or paragraphs
