  • Journal articles published only online may have missing or extra reference information.
  • If there is no volume or issue number, simply add a period at the end of the journal name and provide the DOI.
  • On the other hand, do not include words like, 'Article #', or Special Issue.
  • The reader can confirm anomalies by looking at the DOI.

Direct quote, no pagination, cite the heading or section and number of the paragraph:

"the provision of AI tools to both educators and learners to ensure equitable access can foster a more inclusive learning environment" (Gustilo et al., 2024, Results Part 3 section, para. 5).

 

As you can see, it can be a little tricky. An easy alternative would be to download the article in PDF form, include the page range in the reference, and cite using page numbers from the PDF.
