Referencing websites

Reference styles do vary. The examples on this page may not match the preference of your School or Department - please check the guidelines from your School or Department to ensure you are following the preferred style.

Referencing websites with authors

References to websites should include:

• Author or organisation responsible for the site
• Title of the website (in italics)
• [online]
• Place of publication and publisher
• The date the site was published or last updated
• Date you viewed the website
• The URL

Referencing websites without authors

When you can't determine the author(s) of a website, use 'Anon.' to mean Anonymous. However, be careful of the validity of the website if you don't know who has written or produced it.
