How to Cite a Website
Views: 4339 Report
I've been asked by a few people how to cite a website. Here is the best format to cite a website:

Author [if known]. "Title" [main title, in italics, if applicable]. Last date updated or revised [if known]. URL (web address) of page. (Date page was accessed).

Example

California Energy Commission. "The Energy Story - Chapter 11: Geothermal Energy." April 22, 2002. http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/ story/chapter11.html (May 31, 2002).

Ignatius. "To the Trallians." Early Church Documents (circa 96-50 C.E.). 1994. http://listserv.american.edu/ catholic/church/fathers/ignatius/ign-trl.txt (May 20, 2002).

Anonymous (4/5): if you do not cite something, you are viable for plagiarism charges. those typically include government fines and legal action taken by the owner of the stolen work. ANYTHING used by you in your work MUST be cited (sometimes with the original authors permission) (report)

dAiSy (4/2): No because if people didn't want other people using their work without plagiarizing they wouldn't have put it up in the first place. (report)
Anonymous (6/18): no because there are alot of people that have the same idea's but get accused of pagiazing because of it (report)
