?plotmath  # especially the italic function

mtext(expression("See Author1 and Author2 (2007)  
Title"~italic("Journal of Something")~" ,
pp. 1-50."), side = 3, outer = T,  line=-0.75, cex = 0.7, at= 0.04,  
adj = 0,
font = 1, family = "Times")

You didn't indicate your OS. The choice of screen or pdf fonts may be  
installation specific but this seemed to work as expected with output  
in a serif font and the output in the upper left corner on a Mac with  
the quartz() device.
