Create a spot-on reference in APA 7 and 6
Basic rules
Today, for writing dissertations, theses, and scientific articles, materials of websites published online are widely used. Such Internet pages can include materials of international organisations, data of statistical authorities, authors’ publications, and so on.
For citing a website in a list of references under the requirements of APA 7, indicate the following data in the bibliographic reference: data of the author(s), publication date, material title, website title, and URL address (link).
How to cite in a bibliography
Basic reference template:
Author(s). (Publication date). Material/page title. Website Title. URL
Note: if the author and the website title are the same, only the author’s data should be mentioned in the reference.
If the contents of the online material are regularly updated or are designed to be regularly updated (which can be the case of an online map, a social media profile, etc.), the date when the material was retrieved should be indicated as well. For this case, use the following template:
Author(s). (Publication date). Material/page title. Website Title. Retrieved date retreived from URL
