As born-digital publications such as those published by THL have come on the scene only recently, the standard citation practices have not fully been established. Given the ever-evolving nature of the digital medium, the use of URLs can be problematic, since sites move and URLs change.</p><p class="paragraph">In doing citations, it is essential to differentiate between whether the resource you are citing is a "permanent publication" or a "draft publication" within THL. A "permanent publication" means that THL is committed to permanently preserving the publication in its present form, while a "draft publication" signifies that the precise content could change, and hence there is no guarantee the present form will be accessible in the future.</p><p class="paragraph">At present we have not implemented our long term plans, and have yet to write up exhaustive guideline on how to do citations. Please check back later.
