Websites and social media

Websites

Rule:

[#] A. A. Author. "Page Title." Website Title. Date Accessed. [Online]. Available: Web Address.

Example:

[1] J. Smith. “Obama inaugurated as President.” CNN.com. Accessed: Feb. 1, 2009. [Online.] Available: http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/01/21/obama_inaugurated/ index.html

Guidelines:

All references end with a full stop, unless the reference ends with a URL.

Check that you are using the standard abbreviations for websites.

 

Social Media

Rule:

[#] A. A. Author. "Page Title." Website or Platform Title. Date Accessed. [Online]. Available: Web Address.

Example:

[1] P. Costanzo, “Clemson orange uniforms are messing with the color on my TV. And apparently messing with the ND offense, too.” Twitter. Accessed Apr. 19, 2021. [Online.] Available: https://twitter.com/PaulCostanzo/status/817826295707041793

Guidelines:

All references end with a full stop, unless the reference ends with a URL.

Check that you are using the standard abbreviations for websites.

Replace the author with the website title if not provided.

For informal websites (such as home page or fan websites) or websites without formal titles, descriptive phrases may be used in place of page or website titles.
