[Air-l] Citation Style Query (Threaded Discussion Groups)

[Douglas Eyman]

The Columbia Guide to Online Style has a good online reference page on
citing a wide variety of online works:
http://www.columbia.edu/cu/cup/cgos/idx_basic.html

I particularly like that they don't use angle brackets, which, in my
opinion, were rather arbitrarily adopted by style guides such as MLA and APA
without thinking through the implications for how these elements are handled
by word processors or in web documents (that is, their style guides are for
print publications, and are rather myopic when it comes to imagining that
scholarly work might actually be published electronically).

Friends-

I am currently putting the finishing touches on a journal manuscript and
need to know the "correct" style for citing on-line discussion group posts.
This is terra incognita for the editors and I suspect I can be creative in
this regard.  However, I would appreciate it if anyone out there in AOIR
land has any experience with this issue, both in terms of bibliography as
well as in text citation and quotes.

Thanks,

Andrew Herman
