Example 1: Website with an Author:
Author, A. A. (Year, Month Day). *Title of page*. Site name. URL
Example (using this format):
Smith, J. (2023, March 15). *The impact of social media on teenagers*. Social Science Today. https://www.socialsciencetonay.com/impact-social-media
Example 2: Website with an Organization as Author:
Organization Name. (Year, Month Day). *Title of page*. Site name. URL
Example (using this format):
American Psychological Association. (2023, February 28). *APA Style Guide*. APA. https://apastyle.apa.org/
Example 3: Website with no Author or Date:
If you cannot find an author or date, use "n.d." (no date) in place of the year. It's always best to try and find this information though.
Example (using this format):
*Title of page*. (n.d.). Site name. URL
Example (using this format):
*Understanding Climate Change*. (n.d.). National Geographic. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/climate-change/
Important Considerations:
* DOI (Digital Object Identifier): If a DOI is available, use it instead of the URL. DOIs are persistent identifiers, meaning they are less likely to change than URLs.
* Retrieval Date: APA 7th edition generally doesn't require a retrieval date unless the website content is likely to change (e.g., a news article). However, some instructors might still require it. If needed, add "Retrieved Month Day, Year, from" before the URL.
* Ampersands: Use "&" instead of "and" within the author list if the work is cited within parentheses.
Remember to always replace the bracketed information with the actual details from the website you are citing. Consult the official APA Style Manual for the most up-to-date and comprehensive guidelines.
