There's a format to follow. It goes like this:

Author (if available). Name of site (underlined) Name of institution responsible for the site. date of copyright or posting or last updated. web. date you accessed the site <the web address>

First you put the home page starting with www. and ending with .org/.com/.gov. Second you put the date you visited. Third you put the full website of the page you visited. here's an example:

(http:// not needed)www.wiki.answers.com/. January 16, 2010.

(tab) What_is_polar_bear_in_Japanese.
If it is an Entire internet site:

Title of the Site (underlined). Editor. Date and/ or version number. Name of Sponsoring Institution. Date of Access .

example:

Encyclopedia Mythica (underlined). 2004. 13 May 2004

If it is a document from a web site:

Author (last name, first name). "Title of Web Page." Title of Site (underlined). Editor. Date and/or Version Number. Name of Sponsoring Institution. Date of Access .

example:

Sherman, Chris. "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About URL." SearchEngineWatch(underlined). Ed. Danny Sullivan. 24 Aug. 2004. 4 Sept. 2004 .

These are the standards according to the MLA version. I found this on http://honolulu.Hawaii.edu/legacylib/mlahcc.html. You can find citing books and scholarly journals, and just about everything on this website. Its great. After every period, or semi colon, or any punctuation besides commas, you NEED to do 2 spaces. You need to double space your paper as well.

First write the author of page, last name first, followed by a period.

Then the title of the page in quotes, followed by a period.

Next the title of the entire website, underlined, followed by a period.

Finally the full URL address of the page, beginning with http://, followed by the date you visited the site in parentheses, followed by a period.

Example: Grimes, Barbara F., ed. "South Africa." Ethnologue.

http://www.sil.org/ethnologue/countries/Sout.html (4 Feb 1999).

Listing a website on a bibliography looks pretty much like a book citation, except it includes the date the site was published and accessed. The third line of the citation lists the actual website.

Last Name, First Name Middle Name. "Specific Page or Article Title." Name of Web Site.

When citing a website in APA include the following information:

  • The name of the website(in italics)
  • The name of the website article
  • Author of the source
  • The date the website was created or when the particular online source was published (if known)
  • Date the website was accessed
  • The website URL

The above is for the site. For specific questions go the very top of the page and copy.

Just be careful to cross check the citation, because it is possible (due to the Wiki nature of this site) that some answers may be incorrect. In other words, you should, strictly speaking, give the date on which you accessed the page.

When citing a website in APA format, include the author's name (if known), publication date, title of the page, website name, URL, and the date you accessed the information. For MLA format, include the author, page title, website name, publication date, URL, and access date. In Chicago style, cite the author, title of the page, publication date, name of the website, URL, and access date.
