Bibliography entry for a Journal article

I am writing an annotated bibliography, and there is one entry which is giving me grief, I'm just not sure which authors/ editors to include and where to put their names.

It is a journal article and there are 3 editors, then the article in the journal has an author who is not one of the editors. I have included the title of the article, the journal name and volume, also the page numbers. I'm just wondering, do the editors of the journal go at the beginning of this reference, or the author of the article or both? :confused:

The author.

Thank you

Right- the journal has three editors, but the article has one author? Ignore the editors. Just write what's relevant to the article- the article's author, adn the journal from whence it came.

Or at least, that seems to be the standard way. Check out your faculty's or uni's style guide if there is one for the definitive answer, but It's normal to just have the author of an article.
