AGLC4 Rule 7.11.3: Periodicals, Newsletters and Magazines

Periodicals should be cited as journals under chapter 5 where possible. Newsletters and occasional periodicals identified by a date, month or season rather than volume and issue may instead be cited with the date in brackets before the italic name of the publication.
