Citing Web addresses

Post by PaulSutton »

Hi

I am writing a few documents, where i am citing web sites, as part of my reference list. my references.bib file I have for example
@misc{CitAcid,
title = {{Citric Acid MSDS} },
author={Fisher Science},
howpublished = {\url{https://fscimage.fishersci.com/msds/95375.htm}},
note = {2020}
}
While this method works fine, is there a better / different way to do this please. I am asking as with LaTeX there are multiple paths to the solution so it is good to know different ways to do things.

Thanks

Paul Sutton

If you are allowed to use biblatex, you can choose the entry type online and use appropriate data fields such as url and urldate.

Hi @bartman

Cool thanks for this, I will try that.

This is more for my own documents, e,g reports, session plans etc. But it should be applicable for more formal use if needed.

Regards

Paul
