This is the correct citation for a "scholarly journal."  Ebsco Academic Journals also includes magazines and these should be cited like Ebsco Popular Magazines above.   Scholarly journals frequently have "Journal" or "Quarterly" in the title or the date is given as "Fall or Summer," rather than a month.  Sometimes there is only a year and an issue number. In the citation below the first number is the volume, then a period, then the issue number.
