This version identifies the volume (24), the number (2), and the
page numbers (620-26) of the scholarly journal, rather than
leaving those numbers without clear explanation. This helps
readers best make sense of your citation and allows them to
locate your source without getting bogged down with extra
information or references that can be difficult to decipher. Also
note that punctuation is simple; only commas separate the journal
title, volume, number, date, and page numbers.
