How Do You Cite An Internet Source?
Citing an Internet source is similar to citing a book or periodical. There are different rules for different types of citations (MLA, APA or CSE, for example). In this article, we will look at MLA citations. There are also many variations of websites (web pages, forums or newsgroups), and each has a slightly different way for citing the source. Here we will look at citing a typical web page article. Name the author, last name first. If no author is listed, then skip this Step. Put the title of the work next. This is not the title of the website but the title of the page within the website that you are accessing. Put this information in quotation marks. Place the title of the overall website next and underline it. Look at the web address or find the link to the homepage in order to find the title. List the publication information. Most articles (or web pages) have a “last updated” date if you can’t find an actual date for the specific article you are quoting. Include the date of access.
