Walker (Columbia UP, 2006) is basically used to locate, evaluate, translate, and use of elements of citation for electronically accessed sources in both a humanities style (i.e., MLA and Chicago) and a scientific style (APA and CBE).Presented in the following are some examples. For complete information, refer to the 2nd edition of the Columbia Guide to Online Style.

Likewise, a corporate or organizational Web site may contain various articles or pages. Generally, cite an entire Web site as you would a book or journal, italicizing the title and including whatever other publication information is available. First, list the name of the author or moderator, or other person or organization responsible for the site, followed by the site title. American Chemical Society.
