How should forum contributions be cited?
You should cite forum postings in other published work much as you would a journal article, and should include the author, forum URL and the date posted. This will enable others to search for the specific entry meant. The format for a single post with title “NKS is great” would be – Alan Newton, “NKS is great”, posting on forum.wolfram.science, May 14, 2002. To cite an entire thread of the same title, refer to the authors within the thread as you would a paper by multiple authors, and give a range for the dates, thus – Alan Newton, Isaac Turing, et al, “NKS is great”, thread on forum.wolframscience.
