Website content

A citation may be styled as in the examples below. Because such content is subject to change, include an access date or, if available, a date that the site was last modified. In the absence of a date of publication, use the access date or last-modified date as the basis of the citation. This is often the hardest citation to create as sometimes the information is hard (or impossible) to find.

This is the basic format:

Author Last Name, First Initial/or organization. (date) Title of Page Visited.Title of Website, Retrieved from URL. Retrieved on date

In text: (Author Last Name, Publication Date)
