Practices

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.)
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: be sure to give the complete address including https:// .
