Gather as much information about the web page as possible. While it is often difficult to find all of the information needed for a web page citation, gather as much of the following information as you are able to find: author or editor, article name, website title, publisher, date created, medium (e.g. Web) and URL. It is also important to note the date that you accessed the page.
Arrange the information. Put the information you have in the following order, paying close attention to punctuation and capitalization:
Author Last Name, Author First Name. "Article Name." Website Title. Publisher. Date Created. Medium. <URL>. Date of Access.
Format the information. The website title should be italicized. Dates should be written in a day, month then year format with a three letter abbreviation of the month (e.g. 15 Jul. 2011). If the citation takes up more than one line, all lines after the first should be indented half an inch.
Identify the source and confirm it is in your bibliography. Make sure that the website or web article you are citing in your work is properly cited in your bibliography.
Format the citation. When citing within the text, the format should be: author last name followed by page number(s). The citation should be enclosed by parentheses. For example, an in-text citation might look like this: (Smith 57).
Insert the citation. The in-text citation should go at the end of the sentence or paragraph that includes the reference. It should come before the period at the end of the sentence.
