Notate websites and non-academic Internet pages by starting with the last name of the author, followed by his initials. Follow with the date of the website's publication in parentheses, then end this line of text with a period. The italicized title of the webpage or document follows and is ended with a period. Finish the notation with the phrase "Retrieved from..." and include the complete web address, including the http://. End this with a period.
Follow the same basic format for most forms of Internet sources, adding information when appropriate. For books that were accessed via the Internet, include the title of the article and the italicized title of the book from which it was taken after the date of the article's publication. Treat each piece of information as a separate sentence, and end each with a period. If accessing articles from an Internet periodical, make sure to include the volume number after the periodical's title. When citing newspaper articles from an online database, include the full date of original publication by year, month and day. Do not separate the month and day with a comma.
Place your reference list with your properly-formatted citations at the end of the paper. List your references in alphabetical order by the author's last name. Indent all lines following the first line of each citation by a half-inch from the left of your paper's margin. Capitalize the first letter of your website, and leave the rest in lower-case. Proper nouns, such as cities or names, can be capitalized normally. If there is a colon or dash in your Internet source's title, capitalize the first letter following the punctuation, then resume lower-case.
Cite articles within the text parenthetically by last name of the author, followed by a comma and the year. If your Internet source has multiple authors, list all authors alphabetically and the year in the first citation, and by the first author and the words "et. al" in all following citations. If there is no given author, cite by the article title or by the organization that published your source.
