Although most agree on the components for
electronic citations, format standards are just
emerging for citations from electronic media.

italicize (or underline) the title of the site, or, if
there is no title, to include a description such as
Home Page, but not underlined or italicized or in
quotation marks.

APA Bibliography Format
You no longer need to include words like "Inc.,"
"Publishers," "and Co., " "Company," "Ltd.," and
"Limited" in your references section.

Thus, for example, refer simply to St. Martin's
rather than St. Martin's Press.

There is one exception: with university presses, spell
out the entire publisher (for example, "The University
of Chicago Press").
