URL Format: When including a URL, copy it in full from your browser, but omit any query strings when possible (for example: http://www.mla.org/search/?query=pmla). http:// or https:// use: You may also omit the protocol (http:// or https://) from URLs unless you are hyperlinking your source in software that requires the full protocol. However, always include https:// when adding DOIs to reference entries.
