Citation, Documentation of Sources

Q. Using the author-date system, how do I include an in-text reference to a website? What goes in the parens? The URL? The title of the page? There’s no author, and it’s not part of a journal or a book.

A. A website is not always a good candidate for an author-date citation, but you can find examples of how to cite them in our Citation Quick Guide (scroll to “Website content”).
