Website Source Cards

All examples below are excerpts from Scribbr.com, a free online writing assistant that generates citations. You may plug your information directly into Scribbr to create citations or follow the formats below.  Visit the Scribbr Website Citation Page for more detailed information. 

Note: Please remember to use a hanging indent when writing your source cards!

Author Unknown

If the author of a website is unknown, start with the title of the page instead. If the publication date is unknown, or if the content is likely to change over time, add an access date at the end instead.

Websites don’t usually have page numbers, so the in-text citation is just the author name in parentheses. If you already named the author in your sentence, you don’t need to add a parenthetical citation.

Citing online articles 

The format for citing an article from an online newspaper, magazine, or blog is the same as a general web page citation. If the article is a PDF of a print article, the format differs slightly.

Write the article title in title case (all major words capitalized). Use the most recent publication date on the page, including the day, month, and year if available.
