Box 35Locating the place of publication if there is no standard title page

When Databases/Retrieval Systems/Datasets on the Internet do not display a traditional title page that clearly states the place of publication:

• Look at the top, bottom, or sidebar of the first screen or the bottom of the last screen of the site
• If it is not in one of these locations, try to obtain it from a link within the site, usually under a "contact us" or similar link
• Look in the source code for the database/retrieval system if it is displayed by the Web browser
• If the place cannot be determined from the site itself:

  • Place the name in square brackets if the city can be reasonably inferred. For example, Chicago as the place of publication of a database/retrieval system issued by the American Medical Association.
