OSCOLA referencing: Electronic Journal articles

If the journal article is also available in paper format, reference it as you would a print journal article.

For journals that are only published electronically, you will need to add the website address and the most recent date of access, in the form:

Author, 'Article Title' (Year) Volume number (Issue) Abbreviated journal title <URL> date accessed

Example:

  • G Greenleaf, 'The Global Development of Free Access to Legal Information' (2010) 1(1) EJLT <http://ejlt.org/article/view/17> accessed 6 May 2011

Tips

  • Purely electronic publications may not have page numbers or may use a system of numbered paragraphs. Follow whatever style they use. To note a paragraph number, put the number in square brackets.
