REFERENCING WORLD WIDE WEB PAGE
Has anybody had to cite a world wide web page as a reference in a publication
yet? If so, how did you handle it? An author here wants to cite a Web page as
a reference, and we are unsure whether to treat the formal name of it
(Metraplex
WWW DFD Home Page) as the title or the "address" (http://www.metraplex.com) as
the title and the formal name like where the company would go.
The closest thing I can find in Harbrace to this situation is film references:
_The Empire Strikes Back_, Twentieth-Century Fox, 1980.
Please post responses to me personally as I'm currently not subscribed.
TIA,
