Citing and referencing: Websites

Last name, First name. Name of website. Publisher or sponsor of site, Year of Publication, URL.

Examples

Liu, Alan. Voice of the Shuttle. U of California, Santa Barbara, 2020, vos.ucsb.edu/.

Cave, Nick. The Red Hand Files. Nick Cave Productions, 2020, www.theredhandfiles.com/.

The Pulitzer Prizes. Columbia U, 2020, www.pulitzer.org/.

Teaching Tolerance. Southern Poverty Law Center, 2020, www.tolerance.org/.

International Council for Traditional Music, 2020, www.ictmusic.org/.

The publisher's name can often be found in a copyright notice at the bottom of the homepage or on a page that gives information about the site.

If the publisher's name is the same as that of the author or website, only list it once. If the author is unknown, begin the reference with the name of website instead. 

Do not include https:// when listing a URL. If a permalink or DOI is available, include it instead as it is a more stable link to the resource.

Last name, First name. "Title of webpage". Name of website. Publisher or sponsor of site, Year of Publication, URL.

In the second example, the publisher is the same as the name of the website, so it has only been included once.

If the article on a webpage includes the date of publication you may include this if it is relevant. 

Last Name, First Name. Title of Webpage. Publisher or Sponsor of the Site, Date of Publication, URL.
