How would I cite information from an online forum?
Answer
Here's how to cite an online forum (according to the Purdue Online Writing Lab):
Online Forum
- Include the title of the message, and the URL of the newsgroup.
- Note that titles for items in online communities (blogs, newsgroups, forums) are not italicized.
- If the author's name is not available, provide the screen name.
- Place identifiers like post or message numbers, if available, in brackets.
Example:
Silva, S. C. (2020, April 23). New inventions in the cyberworld of toys [Msg 25]. Message posted to website address.
