Para3QME follows 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 QME pages:
Author(s): the name(s) will be indicated in the metadata of each page.
Title of the page or text: longer texts such as plays should be italicized; shorter
works such as poems or single pages should be in quotation marks.
Editor, if there is one in addition to the author.
Name of the website, italicized: Queen’s Men Editions.
Version number of the site: QME 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.)

the date of the version.
The url of the page: be sure to give the complete address including
