Gather as much information as possible about the webpage you wish to reference. Specifically, look for the author of the webpage, the title of the website and the title of the specific page. If you are citing an online periodical (such as a magazine or a scholarly journal), be sure to record the name of that journal. If you have difficulty finding the name of the journal or website, see the next step.
Copy the uniform resource locator, which is the long address (usually beginning with http://) in the address window at the top of your browser. This URL can tell you a lot about the website, especially if you step up one level. For example, if the website URL is http://electronicuniversity.edu/apply/ and you type in http://electronicuniversity.edu, you will find the website that hosts the document you wish to cite.
Note the date that you accessed the website.
Record this information in your paper's documentation. The specific form and order of the elements will vary slightly with citation styles but will basically look like this: Author of page (if known, and it would be last name, first name). (Date of publication, if known) Title of article. Title of webpage (in italics or underlined). Retrieved from (URL). Date retrieved (date you looked at the document). For example, Barrymore, Fred. (2010) Frying with Grease. _Good Homestyle Cooking_. Retrieved from: www.highcholesteroltimes.org. Date retrieved: 1/21/2011.
