What is the publication date?
- "When a source carries more than one date, cite the date that is most meaningful or most relevant to your use of the source" (p 42)
- "Whether to give the year alone or to include a month and day usually depends on your source: write the full date as you find it there" (p 43)
- "Many kinds of articles on the Web plainly carry dates of publication" (p 44)
- An issue of a periodical (journal, magazine, newspaper) usually carries a date on its cover or title page
- Look for the date of publication of a book on the title page or the copyright page
- If you find more that one date on the copyright page, use the most recent date (p 45)
