If the content of a website is likely to change over time (e.g. When the author of the work is the same as the website name, omit the site name from the reference. Include a period after the website name, followed by the URL. Provide website names in title case without italics after titles of work. books, reports, websites, etc.), but not when it is part of a greater whole (e.g. Titles should be italicized when the document stands alone (e.g. If there is no date provided, put the letters (n.d.) in round brackets where you'd normally put the date. If the more current date is "last reviewed" instead of "last updated," use the original publication date (since the review may not have changed the content).


If an original publication date and a last updated date are provided, use the last updated date. For example you may have a year but no month or day. If you do not know the complete date, put as much information as you can find. Often date information is put on the bottom of the pages of a website. Unfortunately this information may not be provided or may be hard to find. Otherwise look for a copyright or original publication date. The best date to use for a website is the date that the content was last updated. If there is no known author, start the citation with the title of the website instead. Author information can sometimes be found under an "About" section on a website. Remember that an author can be a corporation or group, not only a specific person. It can sometimes be difficult to find out who the author of a website is.
