Hi Janet!
I doubt that there is a standard, formally approved format for citing
material published on the net. Most of the valuable material on the net has
already been either published in the "paper media" or present in scientific
meetings. The important point is that we give due credit by citing the
original source; the exact format is of secondary importance. I would be
surprised if a formal format actually exists.

On a separate note, is it *acceptable* to cite from the WWW
knowing what an uncontrolled place it is (certainly judging by
some WWW sites.)

However, every piece of information passed on should reference where it
was obtained and the source.
Remember there is no check of accuracy or credibility on any information
posted via electronic means. Anyone with access may post data and we
are dependent on the individual for accuracy and viability. Many items
are strictly the opinions of the sender not necessarily fact.
In short, beware of anything obtained unless it can be verified or
checked for accuracy.

I wholeheartedly agree with Paul here. I recall seeing a recent report
(from a poster submitted at an ASHP meeting I believe) that made the
observation that up to 40% of the postings on sci.med.pharmacy were "bad
information." I would feel much more comfortable using peer reviewed
material to prove a point (especially if it had to be good enough to
survive in court). If one did use material on the Web for a report you
would probably want to annotate the reference as to whether it was peer
reviewed or not.

From the perspective of the journal 'Clinical Pharmacokinetics' I would
be prepared to accept citations to WWW pages as a source of further
information. There is no requirement for any citation in a paper that it
must be a peer reviewed paper journal.
