How to cite the Physics Van

How to cite the Physics Van Website


In general, if your teacher has given you guidelines on how to cite internet resources, you should follow those guidelines. However, we suggest citing our website as follows.


If you would like to cite the Physics Van website as a whole:


The Physics Van!, 2008 Department of Physics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the date you accessed the website <http://van.physics.uiuc.edu>

If you would like to cite the Ask the Van question-answer website as a whole:

Ask the Van!, 2008 Department of Physics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the date you accessed the website <http://van.physics.uiuc.edu/van/qa/>

If you would like to cite a specific question that we have answered:

Author's name (or editor's names) "Title of the Question", date the question was published Department of Physics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the date you accessed the question <web address of the question>

As an example, if you read the following question today,

the citation would be,

Kiefer, D. "Why do fools fall in love?", 13 Jul 2006 Department of Physics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 09 May 2008 <http://van.physics.uiuc.edu/van/qa/listing.php?id=384>


You can look up the full names of most of our volunteers on our volunteers page. If no name is given in the question, use the names of our question-answer site editors; Junk, T. and Weissman, M.
