Question

how to cite an internet source

Answer 1

When citing an internet source, the format depends on the citation style you are using (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.). Here are guidelines for a few common styles:

### APA Style
**Format:**
Author, A. A. (Year, Month Day). Title of the web page. Site name. URL

**Example:**
Smith, J. (2020, July 15). How to cite sources. Citation Guide. http://www.citationguide.com/how-to-cite-sources

### MLA Style
**Format:**
Author's Last Name, First Name. "Title of the Web Page." Title of the Website, Publisher (if applicable), Date of Publication, URL.

**Example:**
Smith, John. "How to Cite Sources." Citation Guide, 15 July 2020, www.citationguide.com/how-to-cite-sources.

### Chicago Style
**Format (Notes-Bibliography):**
Author’s First Name Last Name, “Title of Web Page,” Title of Website, Month Day, Year, URL.

**Example:**
John Smith, “How to Cite Sources,” Citation Guide, July 15, 2020, http://www.citationguide.com/how-to-cite-sources.

### General Tips
- Always use the most specific URL for the content you are citing.
- Include the date you accessed the information if it is likely to change over time (common in APA and Chicago styles).
- Ensure that the author and publication dates are accurate if available; if not, you may use "n.d." for "no date."
