Citation gives proper credit to the work of these researchers. This is the principle of academic honesty. Another purpose is to let readers locate a source quickly and with minimal effort so that they can check the researcher's use and interpretation of the evidence presented. Citing electronic sources presents special challenges as locations may change, document content may be revised, etc. The citation guides listed below present accepted methods to cite sources found on the Internet.
Frames cause a slight citation problem.
When citing a document within a frame, you want to give the URL for the document, not the URL for the frame as several documents or pages can appear within the same frame. The page will be displayed in a new window without a frame. All Rights Reserved.
