Example of an article in a titled issue, with an issue editor, and “special issue” in
the note field. (This example also illustrates the formatting of a journal series.)104
Same example, using xref to link the @article to a separate @periodical entry,
containing the issue-information.105 This can be useful when multiple articles from
the same special issue are to be cited. See 17.1.8, above for more about crossreferencing.
The same entrysubtypes as in @inbook and @incollection are available here for
changing the preposition from “in” to “from” or “to,” or suppressing it entirely.
Whole special issues To cite a titled issue as a whole, also use @periodical. The
title and subtitle fields refer to the title of the special issue, journaltitle and
journalsubtitle to the title of the periodical. Issuetitle should not be used. The
note field is printed before the periodical title and may be used for descriptors such
as “special issue.” Examples of whole issues, with and without an issue editor.106
Separately numbered journal supplements: same as above, using @periodical for
entire supplements and @article for articles in the supplement. Historian has
no special treatment for the @supperiodical entrytype and no special field for a
supplement number. Depending on the journal’s numbering scheme, either combine
it manually with the volume number in the volume field (with a comma after the
volume number), or use the issue field. In this example, the string, “79, Suppl.” is
in volume.107
17.2.7 Articles Published Online
Follow guidelines for printed articles as far as possible, and add urls and other electronic locators in the fields provided. Make sure the url, doi, and eprint options
are set accordingly. Turabian calls for access dates with all urls, so use urldate,
too.108 If there are no page numbers, use descriptive locators in the postnote argument of citations, e. g., “under subheading A.”
