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).
