You should use this format for articles from journals that you access as a hard-copy as well as those that you access through [JSTOR ](https://www.jstor.org/)or similar electronic archives. This is because the latter are not web materials as such, but simply scanned electronic copies from printed volumes. Therefore, you don't need to give the URL and access date for journal articles.
