Reference to electronic citations
Although most agree on the components for
electronic citations, format standards are just
emerging for citations from electronic
media. For citing WebSites the tendency seems to
be to italicize (or underline) the title of the
site, or, if there is no title, to include a
description such as Home Page, but not
underlined or italicized or in quotation marks.

You no longer need to include words like "Inc.,"
"Publishers," "and Co., " "Company," "Ltd.," and
"Limited" in your references section. Thus,
for example, refer simply to St. Martin's
rather than St. Martin's Press. There is one
exception with university presses, spell out
the entire publisher (for example, "The
University of Chicago Press").
