** Please, note that the guidelines for citing electronic sources are not yet completely standardized.
Detailed guidelines on documenting online sources are explained in the sixth edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (2003) and the fifth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association(2001). Since there is no official Turabian standard for documenting online sources, the examples above provide only one possible interpretation.
