TAPPI JOURNAL
Starting with the March 1996 issue (Vol. 79, No. 3), the proper spelling for the journal is TAPPI JOURNAL -- all caps and in italics. Use TAPPI J. in references.

As background, TAPPI began publishing "Technical Association Papers" as part of the "Paper Trade Journal." In January of 1949, it started publishing its own magazine: Tappi. That was Vol. 32, No.1. The name was changed to Tappi Journal with the September 1982 issue (Vol. 65, No. 9).

When referencing material from a specific issue, use the spelling used at the time: Tappi, Tappi Journal (Tappi J.), or TAPPI JOURNAL (TAPPI J.).

Internet References

The internet has become a useful, though not completely trusted, source for information. The format for citing online sources is still evolving, although formats developed by the Modern Language Association (MLA) and the American Psychological Association (APA) are most widely accepted. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is also working on a reference standard.

When citing information obtained from the internet, the intent is to guide the reader to the electronic, as well as the original, sources for the information. In general, a reference should include the title and author (if known), the complete address for the document, the sponsoring organization or individual, and a date for when the information was obtained, if possible. Include additonal information that may help readers locate the original source for information "republished" on the internet. If the address can not be listed in full on one line, space after a slash(/) to break it to the next line. That avoids adding a hyphen that could be confused to be part of the address.

A general format is as follows:

• Jones, T. "Roman corn and grains." Presented at the Food Resources Conference, December 1996, Washington, DC, The World Food Bank. Available [Online]www.grainery.com/ corn/history/Europe/Roman3.html> [25Sept1997].
