1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY/COPYRIGHT
A. Proper Citation Practices
By using APA Style, these rules/guidelines aim to add reference particularly for online sources to the
usual requirements.
Ways to cite research references, etc. from the internet:
Two additional pieces of information should be included for works accessed online.
 Internet Address**: A stable Internet address should be included and should direct the reader as
close as possible to the actual work. If the work has a digital object identifier (DOI), use this. If there
is no DOI or similar handle, use a stable URL. If the URL is not stable, as is often the case with online
newspapers and some subscription-based databases, use the home page of the site you retrieved
the work from.
 Date: If the work is a finalized version published and dated, as in the case of a journal article, the
date within the main body of the citation is enough. However, if the work is not dated and/or is
subject to change, as in the case of an online encyclopedia article, include the date that you retrieved
the information.
Kinds of Research References:
Encyclopedias or dictionaries and entries in an encyclopedia
References for encyclopedias must include the following elements: author(s) or editor(s), date of
publication, title, place of publication, and the name of the publisher. For sources accessed online,
include the retrieval date as the entry may be edited over time.

Research reports and papers
References to a report must include the following elements: author(s), date of publication, title, place of
publication, and name of publisher. If the issuing organization assigned a number (e.g., report number,
contract number, or monograph number) to the report, give that number in parentheses immediately
after the title. If it was accessed online, include the URL.

Undated Web site content, blogs, and data
For content that does not easily fit into categories such as journal papers, books, and reports, keep in
mind the goal of a citation is to give the reader a clear path to the source material. For electronic and
online materials, include stable URL or database name. Include the author, title, and date published when
available. For undated materials, include the date the resource was accessed.

B. Proper Netiquette
There may be an overwhelming number of ideas being thrown back and forth in the internet. This may
be said, there still is intellectual property involved. Every source, in theory, should be stated and referred
to. Specially more when you write stuff in the internet through blogs and online chats. To prevent any
instances of being “robbed” of your two-cents, the proper way to do it is to cite the sources of those little
ideas that may spark interest and brew something in your brain.
This being said, here are some rules or tips that should be followed:
1. Cite cite cite. Don’t ever forget to give respect to the person who has the initial idea of a certain topic
that interests you and makes you want to use his/her idea for something better.
There are numerous websites that would show you the proper way of citing a person, site or in other
numerous sources.
2. Copy the website of your source and post it in the blog. If you do not want to formally cite, the next
best thing is to copy the link to atleast show your source. This is called Linking.

c. differentiate internet, extranet and Intranet
Internet
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks. It is not controlled by a central
entity and therefore relies on network devices and accepted conventions and protocols to relay the
data traffic until it gets to its destinations.
Extranet
An extranet is an extended intranet. In addition to allowing access to members of an organization, an
extranet uses firewalls, access profiles, and privacy protocols to allow access to users from outside the
organization. In essence, an extranet is a private network that uses Internet protocols and public
networks to securely share resources with customers, suppliers, vendors, partners, or other
businesses.
Intranet
an intranet is a private network that is setup and controlled by an organization to encourage
interaction among its members, to improve efficiency and to share information, among other things.
