Hi Paolo
Hunter, John 1990 -Writing for Fishery Journals, American Fisheries Society,

The book has a chapter on "Gray Papers" and discussed this issue.

Web based publishing is considered "Gray Papers" and do not command the respect
that hard published, institutional journals and series do.  More qualified as
peer reviewed verse non-peer reviewed papers.

However, many non-gray papers are beginning to be web published now also.
But these are usually, long running serials which are more technically "Print
on Demand" which can be obtained from the organization or institutions web
site.

It will be interesting to see how this electronic distribution medium matures
over time.

So it comes back to the same issues as a normal bibliographical information
*  Date, Author, Title, Institution, Publisher, # pp, etc.
Along with:
*  The file name if it is from a downloaded as a file, with revision number or
date.
*  If it is strictly an html the best you can do is the full http string to the
page.
*  The web source (back to its original root)
The document you find on the web may be from another web site.  As such for
accuracy you may need to do some serious investigative work and trace it all
the way back to its originator.

You can always refer to author, title, internet site and the date when the
text you mentioned was seen by you on the net. Remember that many items (if
not archived) are only temporarily avialable on the internet.

Dear Conch-lers,
do you have any hints on how to cite papers published only on internet in
bibliography?
Thank you,
Paolo
