They are found in bibliographies and reference lists and are also collected in article and book databases. Citations consist of standard elements, and contain all the information necessary to identify and track down publications, including: 1  author name(s) 2  titles of books, articles, and journals. 3  date of publication. 4  page numbers. 5  volume and issue numbers (for articles)
