The structure of Chicago style journal citation is as follows:

Last name, First name. “Article Title.” Journal Title volume, no. issue (year of publication). Page-page

Example of Chicago style journal reference:

Lin, Meng-Fen Grace, Ellen S. Hoffman, and Claire Borengasser. “Is Social Media Too Social for Class? A Case Study of Twitter Use.” TechTrends 57, no. 2 (2013). 39-40.

Some main things that are required to be taken care of when citing journals is page numbers and Digital Object Identifier (DOIs). When referencing any source one needs to write in the footnote specific page number consulted. DOI refers to a combination of numbers as well as letters that are assigned to identify the content and provide a persistent link to the same on the internet.
