How to Cite Web Sites in a Term Paper

MLA, which stands for Modern Language Association, is frequently used as a style of citation for documenting sources within a term paper. When assembling your works-cited page for your paper, gather as much information about the website as possible. You'll need basic information, like the name of the author or compiler, as well as the main title of the website and when you accessed the information. According to Purdue University, you do not need to include the Web address in the citation because websites may change and information may move.

Instructions

- 1
  List the author's or editor's name, last name first. Add a period to the end of the name.
- 2
  Follow the author's name with the name of the website in italics, followed by a period. Add a version number, if available, followed by a period.
- 3
  List the publisher or sponsor of the website, followed by a comma, followed by the date the website was created (if available), followed by a period. Then write the word "Web," followed by a period. (Do not write "Web" in quotations.)
- 4
  List the date that you accessed the website last, followed by a period. Use this format when listing the date: 1 April 2010.
