IEEE prints author initials before the surname and abbreviates the periodical title. Check the abbreviation for Environmental Health Perspectives against your target publication's reference list before submitting.
APA
Oberdörster, G., Oberdörster, E., & Oberdörster, J. (2005). Nanotoxicology: An Emerging Discipline Evolving from Studies of Ultrafine Particles. Environmental Health Perspectives, 113(7), 823-839. https://doi.org/10.1289/ehp.7339
APA puts the year directly after the authors, keeps the full journal title in italics, and renders the DOI as a URL.
BibTeX
@article{oberdrster2005,

}The citation key is the first author's surname and the year. Keep it stable once it appears in a draft, because renaming it breaks every cite that used it.
What to verify before you submit
- The volume and page range. Environmental Health Perspectives records 25,711 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 and listed in DOAJ, 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.

Questions about Environmental Health Perspectives
What is the ISSN of Environmental Health Perspectives?
The linking ISSN is 0091-6765. The journal also carries 1552-9924, which usually separate the print and electronic editions. Use the linking ISSN in a BibTeX issn field.
Who publishes Environmental Health Perspectives?
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences publishes it. Check the journal's own author guidance rather than a general publisher template, because reference style is set per title.
Is Environmental Health Perspectives open access?
OpenAlex records it as open access and it is listed in DOAJ. An open-access article is reachable by any reader, so a reviewer can check the passage you cited without a subscription.
How do I cite an article from Environmental Health Perspectives 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 oberdrster2005 follows the first author's surname and the year. Brace any acronym in the title so your bibliography style does not lowercase it.
Does Environmental Health Perspectives use page numbers or article numbers?
The example article runs from page 823 to 839, so this journal used page ranges at least for that volume. Newer issues in many journals switched to article numbers, so check the version you are citing.
How influential is Environmental Health Perspectives?
Its h-index is 410, above 70% of the journals covered here, and its articles have been cited 1,222,607 times in total. Its two-year mean citedness is 8.15. These are indexing figures, not a judgement of whether a specific article is sound.
Does Environmental Health Perspectives 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 410 and a two-year mean citedness of 8.15 across 25,711 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.
