The general form for citation of Internet materials, including blogs and working papers published on websites such as the Social Science Research Network (SSRN), is as follows:

Eg Dean Knight “Parliament and the Bill of Rights – a blasé attitude?” (6 April 2009) LAWS179 Elephants and the Law <www.laws179.co.nz>.

Eg John Corcoran “Timor, Tampa and technology” (November 2001) Law Institute of Victoria <www.liv.asn.au>.

Eg Federico Varese “The Secret History of Japanese Cinema: The Yakuza Movies” (14 May 2006) Social Science Research Network <www.ssrn.com> at 14.

Always give preference to formally published versions of documents. When citing from the Internet, give as much information as would normally be given.

Where the Internet provides sufficient information to cite to a paper source, cite it as if it were found in a paper source. It is unnecessary to indicate that it has been accessed through the Internet unless the Internet and paper sources are different.

When a paper version of a document is likely to be very difficult for a reader to access, it may be useful to provide an Internet citation following the normal citation.

Citation of online newspapers and magazines should be in accordance with rule 7.2.
