HOW TO FIND CITATION INFORMATION ON WEB SITES
Author/Company and Copyright Date Information
This information can be anywhere on the web page, usually at the top or bottom. Sometimes it can be located by finding a copyright symbol. Many times, a website will not be published by an individual author but will be published by an agency, organization, school, or governmental body.
Copyright dates are important especially for current topic research. Use the most recent date if a range is provided. If no copyright date is given, note n.d.
If you cannot locate information on the web page, go to the HOME page. Sometimes there is a link to HOME. If not, shorten the URL address to include the first forward slash. This will take you to the home page.
Example: http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/middleschool/projects
Shortened: http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/
This shortened URL is the home page. When you are on the home page and looking for author/company and copyright information, look for links such as these to help locate source information:
