You reference journal articles in the same way regardless of format (print or online).  Where an article doesn't give page numbers, but has a doi (digital object identifier) this can be used in place of the page numbers.

The RSC reference style advises that you use abbreviated titles rather than full journal titles in a reference, where an abbreviation for the publication can be found in the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI).  Where CASSI does not provide an abbreviation for a title you want to use, provide the full journal title.

The reference list entry for a journal article should contain:

• In-text reference number
• Author information for the article, in the format of Initial(s). Surname with all authors of the chapter listed in the order they are given,
• Title of the journal (italicised and abbreviated)
• Year
• Volume number (in bold)
• Page range / doi

All components are followed by a comma, except for the page range / doi which is followed by a full-stop.

(5) Initial. Surname, Abbreviated Journal title, Year, volume number, x-xx / doi.
