In the reference section<br />
The required information for referencing internet media is the following:<br />
author’s last name, author’s initials, year of document creation (if available), title<br />
of work, date retrieved and URL. For example:<br />
Campbell, D.P. (1999) Visual illusory effectation. Retrieved March 27, 2000, from<br />
http://www.sight.com/illusion.html<br />
Note that no full stop is used after a URL.<br />
When there is no author for a web page, the title moves to the first position of<br />
the reference entry:<br />
New child vaccine (2001) Retrieved March 21, 2001, from http://news.ninemsn.<br />
com.au/health/story_13178.asp<br />
If there is no identifiable date, you should use the n.d. (no date) notation.<br />
Digital object identifier (DOI)<br />
As websites tend to be ephemeral, a new convention called the digital<br />
object identifier (DOI) has been introduced. This is a permanent identifying<br />
number given to an electronic document unrelated to its current location, so a<br />
scientific paper or article can be located through this permalink. When a DOI<br />
is available, include the DOI instead of the URL in the reference. Publishers who<br />
follow best practice will publish the DOI prominently on the first page of an<br />
article. Because the DOI string can be long, it is safest to copy and paste whenever<br />
possible.<br />
In conclusion<br />
APPENDIX 1 181<br />
This may all seem very pernickety and tiresome, but we can assure you that<br />
when you have spent a frustrating hour trying to find something in the library or<br />
searching electronically, only to find that <strong>your</strong> reference was a dud, you will<br />
appreciate that this is one place where absolute accuracy really pays off.
