You can also find the complete text of the AIP Style Manual on the Internet. Not only does this guide give comprehensive citation information, but it also includes lists of accepted abbreviations and other style precedents for publishing in Physics.
As online sources become increasingly prevalent, we can expect AIP to expand its style manual to include citing online resources and websites. In the mean time, you might use the APA style citation found under the Online Resources link on this page when citing websites.
