Major
Changes:
-"...we recommend that
you include the same elements, in the same order, as you would for a reference
to a fixed-media source and add as much electronic retrieval information as
needed for others to locate the sources you cited." (p.187)
-DOI system (Digital
Object Identifier) is an alphanumerical system developed by publishers and
assigned to articles.
- "We recommend when
the DOI's are available you include them for both print and electronic sources."
(p. 189)
- " When the DOI is
used, no further retrieval information is needed to identify or locate the
content." (p.191)
- No DOI, then provide
URL of journal, or the book or report publisher (this would be the
online database home address). See our Online
databases page (scroll down) for addresses. (p.191)
-"When the document
is not easily located through its primary publishing channels, give the home
or entry page URL of the online archive." (p. 192) (Again, it applies to
the online databases).
-Not "necessary"
to include database information. (p.192)
-Do not include retrival
dates. (p.192)
-For journals: if issue
is mentioned and if each issue starts on p.1, include after Vol. number, in
parenthesis. (p.199)
- If article appears on
discontinuous pages, give all the page numbers, and separate by commas (p.200)
-Database names and abstract
identifier (if applicable) may be given for material of limited circulation.
(p.202)
-Books & chapters online
do no need location & publisher, just the doi or URL (p.203)
