Blog Post

 

The word blog comes from web log ! It is a type of website that relates to a particular topic of interest, and in which the content is frequently updated, or added to with additional articles, comments or 'posts'. 

There may be one or more authors/contributors to a blog, and sometimes, comments posted may represent personal opinion rather than actual facts.  For this reason, it makes sense to take a little extra care when evaluating the accuracy of the information it contains.

The pieces of information contained in the blog tend to be displayed in the order in which they are posted, with the most recently posted appearing first. 

No official guidance is available for referencing Blogs from the IEEE Reference Guide.

A reference to a blog will generally require the following elements:

  • If no personal author is given, you can use the name of the organisation, company or institution.
  • Put the post title within quotation marks, only the first letter of the first word should be capitalised.
  • The blog's name is in italics, begin all significant words with a capital letter.
