Proper citations for Journals
It is my understanding that the MLA Citation style should look like this example:
Electronic Scholarly Journal Article (From a Database)
Herold, Niels. "Pedagogy, Hamlet, and the Manufacture of Wonder." Shakespeare Quarterly 46.2 (1995):125-134. JSTOR. Web. 31 Dec. 2009
In Logos 4 I select MLA citation style. I then copy from a theological journal. And it never gives the citation style shown above. There is no author or title of the article. Just the journal information itself. In otherwords - basically useless. Why is this? Is the answer that Logos 4 actually does not do this? How can that be?

Logos does do that, but only for resources that support it. Sadly, most journals (and most dictionaries) don't.

Thanks for the quick reply. Sounds like the problem is with Galaxie Software (which markets the theological journals).

Yes, it is their responsibility. To be fair, the feature hasn't always been there, so many of the journals were produced before that time. But in a newer journal published by Logos, it does work. A random example:
Hunt, Stephen. "Deliverance: The Evolution of a Doctrine". Themelios: Volume 21, No. 1, October 1995. United Kingdom: The Gospel Coalition, 1995.
