Citation Style Guide: Home

The key to citing any source is to:

1. be consistent in style and format;
2. have a clear and neat format;
3. present sufficient information for a reader to identify and find the work or cited passage;
4. NOT make up your own rules.

For citing material from the Web, two additional pieces of information are usually needed:

1. the electronic address or URL of the site (e.g. http://...) OR the Digital Object identifier (DOI) of the electronic article
2. the date you accessed the site or database
