Citing Internet Sources

On the Web there is no consistent format for providing the user with all the information about a given Web site. YOU have to be the detective and try and find as many different pieces of information about the Web site as you can.

Information on the open Web can change at any time without notice. That’s why the citation styles ask for so many different pieces of information about the site you used.

 

Let's say you have used information about the soccer World Cup from this Web site:

Citing a Website using MLA (9th edition)

MLA tells you to include:

Last Name, First Name of Author. “Title of article/page.” Name of Website. Website Publisher, Date of publication (or last

     updated), URL. Date Accessed (day month year).

So you write:

Pouya, Farid and David Sasaki. “World Cup: Iran and Mexico”.  Global Voices, Berkman Center for Internet and Society,       

     Harvard Law School, 11 June 2006, www.globalvoicesonline.org/2006/06/11/world-cup-iran-and-mexico/. Accessed   

     23 Nov. 2018.

 

Citing a Website using APA (7th edition)

APA tells you to include:

Author/Editor's Last Name, First Initial. (Date of Publication). Title of Page. Site Name. URL

So you write:

Pouya, F. & Sasaki, D. (11 June 2006) World Cup: Iran and Mexico.  Global voices.
