The following is a general process for citing online sources. If citing MLA, APA, or Chicago is necessary, one should consult the respective handbook.
The example used is the article on Galatia written by Sir William Mitchell Ramsay in the International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia.
Cite the author's or authors' name(s) in the following manner:
Ramsay, William M.
If the page being cited is an article or an entry from a larger work, put the article/entry title in quote marks. The article/entry should also be followed by a comma (as illustrated).
Ramsay, William M. "Galatia,"
Cite the title of the work in italics followed by a period. This includes the titles of books, lexica, commentaries, encyclopedias and dictionaries (as illustrated).
Ramsay, William M. "Galatia," International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia.
If the work is an edited volume, such as an encyclopedia, cite the name of the editor (as illustrated).
Ramsay, William M. "Galatia," International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia. Edited by James Orr.
Cite the online distributor. On our website, the distributor is always the Blue Letter Bible.
Ramsay, William M. "Galatia," International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia. Edited by James Orr. Blue Letter Bible.
Cite, if applicable, the original publication year of the work. This applies to many of the works on the Blue Letter Bible because they were originally books that we have put into electronic format; however, this does not apply to a some of our content because it was published for our website in its original format.
Ramsay, William M. "Galatia," International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia. Edited by James Orr. Blue Letter Bible. 1913.
Cite, if applicable, the online publication date or the date of latest revision: Day Month Year. In many cases this date may be unobtainable. In other cases only the year is given.
