How to Add a Website to a Bibliography

Adding a website to a bibliography follows a slightly different format than adding a book or journal article. Here are the steps to add a website to a bibliography:

1. Start with the author’s name or names. If there is no author, use the name of the organization or company responsible for the website.

2. Include the title of the webpage in quotation marks. If there is no title, use a brief description of the webpage.

3. Next, include the name of the website in italics.

4. Include the date the webpage was published or last updated. If no date is available, use “n.d.” to indicate that the date is not known.

5. Add the URL or permalink of the webpage.

6. If needed, include the date you accessed the webpage, especially if the content is likely to change over time.

Here’s an example of what a website citation might look like:

Lastname, Firstname. "Title of Webpage." Name of Website, Publisher or Sponsor of Website, date published or last updated, URL.

For example:

Note that the specific formatting may vary depending on the citation style you are using (such as APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.), so it's always a good idea to check the specific guidelines for the style you are using.
