What to verify before you submit
- The volume and page range. CA A Cancer Journal for Clinicians records 4,885 works, and articles published online first can carry a different volume from the final issue. Cite the version you read.
- The abbreviated title. IEEE style uses standard periodical abbreviations, and registry metadata almost always returns the full name instead.
- Author name order. Registry records store full given names; IEEE and APA both want initials, formatted differently from each other.
- Whether the article is open access. This journal is open access, which affects whether a reader can reach the version you cited.
- That the source supports your claim. A correctly formatted reference says nothing about whether the passage backs the sentence citing it.

How do I cite an article from CA A Cancer Journal for Clinicians in LaTeX?
Use the BibTeX entry above as the pattern. The entry type is article, the journal field holds the full title, and the citation key sung2021 follows the first author's surname and the year. Brace any acronym in the title so your bibliography style does not lowercase it.
Does CA A Cancer Journal for Clinicians use page numbers or article numbers?

Does CA A Cancer Journal for Clinicians have a Journal Impact Factor?
Not one shown here. The Journal Impact Factor is Clarivate's metric, published in Journal Citation Reports and readable only with a JCR subscription, so this page does not restate it. The figures above come from OpenAlex: an h-index of 270 and a two-year mean citedness of 225.25 across 4,885 indexed works, captured on 2026-09-18. Mean citedness averages citations per work over a two-year window, which makes it closer in construction to CiteScore than to the Impact Factor. The three are not interchangeable, so quote whichever one your target venue actually asks for.
