References or Sources

Post by Nessiee »

After searching through the forums, I've found that we should list any references at the end of the articles by creating a "References" or "Sources" heading. I know that we are supposed to leave the "http://www." part off of the sources, since links shouldn't be included, but what format should I be using?

For example, I'm unsure of whether to use merely "another-site.com" as my reference, or a full link like "another-site.com/my/referenced/article.html"

Is there a proper protocol for this sort of thing? Thanks in advance for any insights you might be able to share :)


This is the format that I'm currently using. Is this okay? I wanted to get this sorted out before submitting the article.


References:

Website Title, Page Title
another-site.com/my/referenced/article.html

Website Title, Page Title
another-site.com/my/referenced/article.html

Etc.

Whatever format you're comfortable with is okay. Your example looks clear and useful, but is still in keeping with our guidelines, so go for it.
