Citing Web Results: Creating a Bibliography

When you reference a web page, you should include the following elements: Author/Editor (if available) Title of page Publisher (optional) Publication date/Last modified (if available) Website address (URL) Access date If you need some additional help finding these elements, go back to Referencing Web Sources. Format your citations according to a particular style manual if your instructor has specified one. Two examples are the MLA and APA Style Guides: MLA (Modern Language Association) style is preferred for humanities research. Here are some example of web citations using the MLA style guide: "Bear Market." Britannica Online. 14 Feb 2002. <http://www.britannica.com/eb/article?eu=14112>. Butler, Rhett A.
