Issue Numbers
Some journals and magazines start numbering their pages at 1 in every issue. Other journals, however, start at page 1 only for the first issue of the volume and continue the numbering throughout the year. If you are citing an item that begins every issue on page 1, provide the issue number in parentheses right after the volume number. Do not italicize the issue of the number.
