GENERAL REFERENCES

Academic Referencing of Internet-based Resources
By Gordon Fletcher and Anita Greenhill. "The rapid growth of the Internet has outstripped conventions for citing material from that source. Distinguishing material as a [computer file] does not provide sufficient information about the platform necessary for reading it. The URL provides useful information, but augmenting it with other details such as author and date not only provides a meaningful citation, its similarity to conventional bibliographic notation lends a greater degree of legitimacy in academic discourse. The article considers information derivable from the URL, and HTML documents (including non-displayed source text), in order to derive bibliography and inline text citations for various kinds of material. The conventions proposed are applicable to Gopher, FTP, Usenet News, journals distributed by listservers, and email."
