Practices
Para3EMEE follows Linked Early Modern Drama Online’s (LEMDO’s) citation guidelines, which
are similar to the guidelines for citing digital publications set out in the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 9th ed.
Para4LEMDO recommends that you give the following information when you cite EMEE pages:
Author(s): the name(s) will be indicated in the metadata of each page.
Title of the page or text: article titles should be in quotation marks; longer texts
such as plays or books should be italicized.
Editor, if there is one in addition to the author.
Name of the website, italicized: Early Modern England Encyclopedia.
Version number of the site: EMEE is released periodically with new and revised material;
each release is given a release number, which you will find in the footer of any page.
Place of publication: Victoria, Canada. (There are multiple cities named Victoria
in the world. It is generally good practice to give the country to disambiguate cities.)
Publisher or sponsor of the site: Linked Early Modern Drama Online.
Year of the version you are citing in YYYY format: see the footer of the page for
the date of the version.
The URL of the page (web address): be sure to give the complete address including
