Comments
- If there is no stated author for the webpage, put the organisation responsible for it as author.
- If the year of publication of the webpage you want to cite is unknown, write "n.d." (short for no date) in both the in-text citation and the reference list entry.
- The date of retrieval should be stated for all electronic sources, in addition to the year of publication. This is written as shown above, in square brackets with the word "Accessed:". The reason for this is that electronic sources may theoretically get edited and the information in them can then change. For this reason it is important to indicate at what time you studied an electronic source.
