A simple way of doing it in BibTeX is with a @misc
entry:
@misc{WinNT,
title = {{MS Windows NT} Kernel Description},
howpublished = {\url{http://web.archive.org/web/20080207010024/http://www.808multimedia.com/winnt/kernel.htm}},
note = {Accessed: 2010-09-30}
}
You should also perhaps include an author if you know it. And remember to load a package such as hyperref
or url
.
If you are using BibLaTeX there is an @online
entry type:
@online{WinNT,
author = {MultiMedia LLC},
title = {{MS Windows NT} Kernel Description},
year = 1999,
url = {http://web.archive.org/web/20080207010024/http://www.808multimedia.com/winnt/kernel.htm},
urldate = {2010-09-30}
}
You mention that you use BibTeX and the plainnat
bibliography style. Unfortunately, this bibliography style does not recognize an @electronic
entry type. However, the @misc
entry type is sufficiently general to meet your needs. Try the following form of the entry, which assumes that you're also loading the url
LaTeX package:
@misc{weisstein,
author = {Weisstein, Eric W.},
title = {Tree. {From MathWorld---A Wolfram Web Resource}},
url = {\url{http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Tree.html}},
note = {Last visited on 13/4/2012},
}
The curly braces around "From ... Resource" are there to keep BibTeX/plainnat from converting any uppercase letters inside the group into lowercase. Encasing the URL in an explicit \url{...}
macro serves to let LaTeX find, if needed, convenient line break points. (By default, long URL strings will not be broken up across lines, potentially leading to seriously overfull or underfull lines.)

I have at least six IEEE styles by default , but in any case you can use the type of reference
@electronic
or may be@misc
. Probably you have in your disk the fileIEEEexample.bib
with several entries like this:If this file exist, you can compile a file like the below MWE to test how these entries are formatted in LaTeX:
Of course, you must change
IEEEtran
with the exact IEEE style that you are using.
