EBSCOHost is the name of a database, not a journal. Journal articles can be accessed by many different databases, but without the title of the journal, a reader may have a hard time finding the original article.

The author $"$et al$"$ should come before "Hopmann, David N$."$ because authors should be listed alphabetically.

The year of publication, $2015,$ should come after the author's name in order for the citation to have correct MLA style.
