After the title, what does the rest of the data/information mean? How can I find this source?
Also, if I want to reference an article in my report what information do I have to include in my reference? Here is the link of the reference I will use:
Answer The article by Connor was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The rest of the information gives the specific issue of that journal. It was published in the year 2000, but since I do not know its conventions regarding how often it publishes, I cannot be sure exactly what the rest means. But if you go to a university library that carries that journal, or find it using JSTOR online, you'll be able to figure it out pretty quickly.
To reference the other article, you need to provide all the traditional information about the article: Author, Title, Publication, etc., plus the url where you found it. The link you provided refers only to a summary of the original article. To do it properly, you should find and read the original article, which will be available through JSTOR. Your university or city library will let you get into JSTOR.
