How do you format biblio/sources?

Post by DavidLewis »

Hello again forum!

I can't seem to find an answer to how (or where) to list references, or a bilblio, or sources in our articles. I know how to format the source, but I don't know where to put it (i.e. do you just write "references" at the bottom of your article and list them?). I don't want rejections over this. I've found threads discussing that you can include sources. However, nothing on the specifics. Does anyone know? I emailed support about this, but haven't gotten a response. Also, how would you format websites used as a source? For example, how would you cite a page on IRS.gov as a source or reference?

Thanks so much for your help.

Referencing authoritative sources

We mainly create internet content so the old rules of citing sources at the bottom don't really apply. Instead, according to Celeste Stewart's guide to internet writing, sources are best cited right in the text. You can learn more about effective internet writing on JadeDragon's blog innovativepassiveincome.com

Note how I cited Celeste's Constant Content book and mentioned my own blog without the http://www. part so that no clickable link is created. Go and do likewise.
