Sample Reference Page for Web
Publishing
(adaptation of APA style)
This format is modelled after the APA style. Double spacing and indenting
reference sources do not easily translate in Web documents.
I allow my students to single space sources and put a double space between
entries. I also do not require indented citations. Since an underline in
a Web document usually means a hyperlink, I prefer my students italicize
titles of journals and books.
The exact format differs according to whether the source is a book,
journal article, or other source, such as a Web document. There are other
variations, according to whether or not the source is part of a compilation
by an editor, whether there are multiple authors, whether or not the source
is in a journal published periodically by volume, etc....
Notice: sources are alphabetized according to last name of primary
author.
[The sources below are not actual references; they
are merely representative.
The descriptions are not part of the reference format.
