Citing web sites
Web documents share many of the same elements found in a print document (e.g.,
authors, titles, dates). Therefore, the citation for a web document often follows
a format similar to that for print, with some information omitted and some added.
When using APA style to cite web sites and other internet resources, include
the following information:
- the name of the document on the site
- date the document was produced or last revised (if known)
- place the document was produced
- individual or organization that produced the site
- the date you accessed the site
- the URL of the site
Example:
