APA 6th Edition Referencing: Webpage

This is an educational video showing how to reference a webpage.

Author, A. or Corporate Author. (Date of publication). Title of web page in italics. Retrieval information

When citing an entire website, but not an individual webpage, just give the address of the site in the text only; no reference list entry is necessary. For example:

When several pages from a website are being cited in an assignment, if each page has its own URL, then these will have separate reference list entries (with the year and ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’ etc.). These reference list entries will be arranged in alphabetical order of the title.

For example, if you are doing an assignment about the Fieldays at Mystery Creek, and you use information from 3 pages of the same website, your referencing information will look like this:

When citing a web page you should, where practicable, use section headings and/or paragraph numbers to direct the reader to the specific section of the page from which you took information.

If each page you use has a separate URL, you need to reference them separately. In text, list the author (often corporate), date and the section heading and/or paragraph, for example:

The corresponding reference list entry simply refers to the webpage as a whole, not the specific section/paragraph

If there is only one paragraph under the heading, simply use that heading. For example:

If there are no section headings but paragraphs are clearly defined, count from the first paragraph and give the relevant number of the paragraph from which you have take information.
