In the results list of a database search you should be able to locate the article's title, author name, journal title, publication date, volume, issue and page numbers.
For example, if your results list had the article, Philosophy of Technology Assumptions in Educational Technology Leadership, you could find the following information for the article:
- Author: Webster
- Journal Title: Journal of Educational Technology & Society
- Date: 2017
- Volume, issue, and page number: vol. 20 issue 1, p 25-36
If you click on the article's title in the search results that will take you to a more detailed record, which also has the citation information.
Tip: always verify the citation information matches the actual article. The databases and their tools are not perfect and do make mistakes.
