Citing Web Research Resources
•Formats for citations to books, journal articles, and other research resources that are accessible on the Web are more complex than the formats for Web pages.
•
•There is no clear standard specifying where or how to break long URLs at the end of a print line.
•
•Both the APA and the MLA recommend that the URL be enclosed with chevron symbols (< >); however, this is not universally accepted.
•
•Any method of citing Web pages faces one serious, yet unsolved problem—moving and disappearing URLs.
