Scribbr, “Citing Sources.”\nFrequently asked questions about citations\nHow do I cite a source with no author?\nIn\nAPA\n,\nMLA\n, and\nChicago style\ncitations for sources that don’t list a specific author (e.g. many\nwebsites\n), you can usually list the organization responsible for the source as the author.\nIf the organization is the same as the website or publisher, you shouldn’t repeat it twice in your reference:\nIn APA and Chicago, omit the website or publisher name later in the reference.\nIn MLA, omit the\nauthor element\nat the start of the reference, and cite the source title instead.\nIf there’s no appropriate organization to list as author, you will usually have to begin the citation and reference entry with the title of the source instead.\nHow do I cite a source with no page numbers?\nWhen you want to cite a specific passage in a source without page numbers (e.g. an e-book or\nwebsite\n), all the main\ncitation styles\nrecommend using an alternate locator in your\nin-text citation\n. You might use a heading or chapter number, e.g. (Smith, 2016, ch. 1)\nIn\nAPA Style\n, you can count the paragraph numbers in a text to identify a location by paragraph number.\nMLA\nand\nChicago\nrecommend that you only use paragraph numbers if they’re explicitly marked in the text.\nFor audiovisual sources (e.g.\nvideos\n), all styles recommend using a timestamp to show a specific point in the video when relevant.\nWhich citation style should I use?\nCheck if your university or course guidelines specify which\ncitation style\nto use. If the choice is left up to you, consider which style is most commonly used in your field.\nAPA Style\nis the most popular citation style, widely used in the social and behavioral sciences.\nMLA style\nis the second most popular, used mainly in the humanities.\nChicago notes and bibliography style\nis also popular in the humanities, especially history.\nChicago author-date style\ntends to be used in the sciences.\nOther more specialized styles exist for certain fields, such as\nBluebook\nand\nOSCOLA\nfor law.\nThe most important thing is to choose one style and use it consistently throughout your text.\nCite this Scribbr article\nIf you want to cite this source, you can copy and paste the citation or click the “Cite this Scribbr article” button to automatically add the citation to our free Citation Generator.\nCaulfield, J. \n                    (2024, November 06).\nHow to Cite a Website | MLA, APA & Chicago Examples.\nScribbr. \n        Retrieved April 2, 2026, \n        from https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/citing-sources\/cite-a-website\/\nYou have already voted.

The information is presented differently in each style.\n\n[How do I cite a source with no author?](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/frequently-asked-questions\/cite-source-with-no-author\/)\n\nIn [APA](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/category\/apa-style\/), [MLA](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/category\/mla\/), and [Chicago style](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/category\/chicago-style\/) citations for sources that don’t list a specific author (e.g. many [websites](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/citing-sources\/cite-a-website\/)), you can usually list the organization responsible for the source as the author.\n\nIf the organization is the same as the website or publisher, you shouldn’t repeat it twice in your reference:\n\n- In APA and Chicago, omit the website or publisher name later in the reference.\n- In MLA, omit the [author element](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/mla\/authors\/) at the start of the reference, and cite the source title instead.\n\nIf there’s no appropriate organization to list as author, you will usually have to begin the citation and reference entry with the title of the source instead.\n\n[How do I cite a source with no page numbers?](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/frequently-asked-questions\/cite-source-with-no-page-numbers\/)\n\nWhen you want to cite a specific passage in a source without page numbers (e.g. an e-book or [website](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/citing-sources\/cite-a-website\/)), all the main [citation styles](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/citing-sources\/citation-styles\/) recommend using an alternate locator in your [in-text citation](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/citing-sources\/in-text-citation-styles\/). You might use a heading or chapter number, e.g. (Smith, 2016, ch. 1)\n\nIn [APA Style](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/category\/apa-style\/), you can count the paragraph numbers in a text to identify a location by paragraph number. [MLA](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/category\/mla\/) and [Chicago](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/?cat_ID=6173) recommend that you only use paragraph numbers if they’re explicitly marked in the text.\n\nFor audiovisual sources (e.g. [videos](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/citing-sources\/cite-a-video\/)), all styles recommend using a timestamp to show a specific point in the video when relevant.\n\n[Which citation style should I use?](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/frequently-asked-questions\/which-citation-style\/)\n\nCheck if your university or course guidelines specify which [citation style](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/citing-sources\/citation-styles\/) to use. If the choice is left up to you, consider which style is most commonly used in your field.\n\n- [APA Style](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/category\/apa-style\/) is the most popular citation style, widely used in the social and behavioral sciences.\n- [MLA style](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/category\/mla\/) is the second most popular, used mainly in the humanities.\n- [Chicago notes and bibliography style](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/?cat_ID=6173) is also popular in the humanities, especially history.\n- [Chicago author-date style](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/chicago-style\/author-date\/) tends to be used in the sciences.\n\nOther more specialized styles exist for certain fields, such as *Bluebook* and [OSCOLA](https:\/\/www.scribbr.co.uk\/referencing\/oscola\/) for law.\n\nThe most important thing is to choose one style and use it consistently throughout your text.\n\n#### Cite this Scribbr article\nIf you want to cite this source, you can copy and paste the citation or click the “Cite this Scribbr article” button to automatically add the citation to our free Citation Generator.\n\n> Caulfield, J.

You might use a heading or chapter number, e.g. (Smith, 2016, ch. 1)\n\nIn [APA Style](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/category\/apa-style\/), you can count the paragraph numbers in a text to identify a location by paragraph number. [MLA](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/category\/mla\/) and [Chicago](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/?cat_ID=6173) recommend that you only use paragraph numbers if they’re explicitly marked in the text.\n\nFor audiovisual sources (e.g. [videos](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/citing-sources\/cite-a-video\/)), all styles recommend using a timestamp to show a specific point in the video when relevant.\n\n[Which citation style should I use?](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/frequently-asked-questions\/which-citation-style\/)\n\nCheck if your university or course guidelines specify which [citation style](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/citing-sources\/citation-styles\/) to use. If the choice is left up to you, consider which style is most commonly used in your field.\n\n- [APA Style](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/category\/apa-style\/) is the most popular citation style, widely used in the social and behavioral sciences.\n- [MLA style](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/category\/mla\/) is the second most popular, used mainly in the humanities.\n- [Chicago notes and bibliography style](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/?cat_ID=6173) is also popular in the humanities, especially history.\n- [Chicago author-date style](https:\/\/www.scribbr.com\/chicago-style\/author-date\/) tends to be used in the sciences.\n\nOther more specialized styles exist for certain fields, such as *Bluebook* and [OSCOLA](https:\/\/www.scribbr.co.uk\/referencing\/oscola\/) for law.\n\nThe most important thing is to choose one style and use it consistently throughout your text.\n\n#### Cite this Scribbr article\nIf you want to cite this source, you can copy and paste the citation or click the “Cite this Scribbr article” button to automatically add the citation to our free Citation Generator.\n\n> Caulfield, J.

MLA in-text citation ( Scribbr ) Webpages with no author or date When no author is listed, cite the organization as author only if it differs from the website name.

MLA in-text citation (“Citing Sources”) Citing a website in APA Style An APA reference for a webpage lists the author’s last name and initials, the full date of publication, the title of the page (in italics), the website name (in plain text), and the URL. The in-text citation lists the author’s last name and the year. If it’s a long page, you may include a locator to identify the quote or paraphrase (e.g. a paragraph number and/or section title).

You can also use our free APA Citation Generator to create your webpage citations. Search for a URL to retrieve the details. Generate accurate APA citations with Scribbr Blog posts and online articles Blog posts follow a slightly different format: the title of the post is not italicized, and the name of the blog is. The same format is used for online newspaper and magazine articles—but not for articles from news sites like Reuters and BBC News (see the previous example). APA format Author last name , Initials .

Citing a website in Chicago Style In Chicago notes and bibliography style, footnotes are used to cite sources. They refer to a bibliography at the end that lists all your sources in full. A Chicago bibliography entry for a website lists the author’s name, the page title (in quotation marks), the website name, the publication date, and the URL.

Brice, “Coronavirus Package.” Chicago also has an alternative author-date citation style . Examples of website citations in this style can be found here . Blog posts and online articles For blog posts and online articles from newspapers, the name of the publication is italicized.

McKenna, “Assisted Reproduction.” Webpages with no author or date When a web source doesn’t list an author , you can usually begin your bibliography entry and short note with the name of the organization responsible. Don’t repeat it later if it’s also the name of the website. A full note should begin with the title instead. When no publication or revision date is shown, include an access date instead in your bibliography entry. Chicago format Organization Name . “ Page Title .” Website Name . Accessed Month Day , Year .

Scribbr, “Citing Sources.” Frequently asked questions about citations How do I cite a source with no author? In APA , MLA , and Chicago style citations for sources that don’t list a specific author (e.g. many websites ), you can usually list the organization responsible for the source as the author. If the organization is the same as the website or publisher, you shouldn’t repeat it twice in your reference: In APA and Chicago, omit the website or publisher name later in the reference. In MLA, omit the author element at the start of the reference, and cite the source title instead. If there’s no appropriate organization to list as author, you will usually have to begin the citation and reference entry with the title of the source instead. How do I cite a source with no page numbers? When you want to cite a specific passage in a source without page numbers (e.g. an e-book or website ), all the main citation styles recommend using an alternate locator in your in-text citation . You might use a heading or chapter number, e.g. (Smith, 2016, ch. 1) In APA Style , you can count the paragraph numbers in a text to identify a location by paragraph number. MLA and Chicago recommend that you only use paragraph numbers if they’re explicitly marked in the text. For audiovisual sources (e.g. videos ), all styles recommend using a timestamp to show a specific point in the video when relevant. Which citation style should I use? Check if your university or course guidelines specify which citation style to use. If the choice is left up to you, consider which style is most commonly used in your field. APA Style is the most popular citation style, widely used in the social and behavioral sciences. MLA style is the second most popular, used mainly in the humanities. Chicago notes and bibliography style is also popular in the humanities, especially history. Chicago author-date style tends to be used in the sciences. Other more specialized styles exist for certain fields, such as Bluebook and OSCOLA for law. The most important thing is to choose one style and use it consistently throughout your text.

Revised on November 6, 2024. To [cite](https://www.scribbr.com/category/citing-sources/) a page from a website, you need a short [in-text citation](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/in-text-citation-styles/) and a corresponding reference stating the author’s name, the date of publication, the title of the page, the website name, and the URL. This information is presented differently in different citation styles. [APA](https://www.scribbr.com/category/apa-style/), [MLA](https://www.scribbr.com/category/mla/), and [Chicago](https://www.scribbr.com/category/chicago-style/) are the most commonly used styles. Use the interactive example generator below to explore APA and MLA website citations. You can also try Scribbr’s [plagiarism checker](https://www.scribbr.com/plagiarism-checker/) to ensure your writing is free of accidental plagiarism. Note that the format is slightly different for [citing YouTube](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/cite-a-video/) and other online video platforms, or for [citing an image](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/cite-an-image/).

The information is presented differently in each style. [How do I cite a source with no author?](https://www.scribbr.com/frequently-asked-questions/cite-source-with-no-author/) In [APA](https://www.scribbr.com/category/apa-style/), [MLA](https://www.scribbr.com/category/mla/), and [Chicago style](https://www.scribbr.com/category/chicago-style/) citations for sources that don’t list a specific author (e.g. many [websites](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/cite-a-website/)), you can usually list the organization responsible for the source as the author. If the organization is the same as the website or publisher, you shouldn’t repeat it twice in your reference: - In APA and Chicago, omit the website or publisher name later in the reference. - In MLA, omit the [author element](https://www.scribbr.com/mla/authors/) at the start of the reference, and cite the source title instead. If there’s no appropriate organization to list as author, you will usually have to begin the citation and reference entry with the title of the source instead. [How do I cite a source with no page numbers?](https://www.scribbr.com/frequently-asked-questions/cite-source-with-no-page-numbers/) When you want to cite a specific passage in a source without page numbers (e.g. an e-book or [website](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/cite-a-website/)), all the main [citation styles](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/citation-styles/) recommend using an alternate locator in your [in-text citation](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/in-text-citation-styles/). You might use a heading or chapter number, e.g. (Smith, 2016, ch. 1) In [APA Style](https://www.scribbr.com/category/apa-style/), you can count the paragraph numbers in a text to identify a location by paragraph number. [MLA](https://www.scribbr.com/category/mla/) and [Chicago](https://www.scribbr.com/?cat_ID=6173) recommend that you only use paragraph numbers if they’re explicitly marked in the text. For audiovisual sources (e.g. [videos](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/cite-a-video/)), all styles recommend using a timestamp to show a specific point in the video when relevant. [Which citation style should I use?](https://www.scribbr.com/frequently-asked-questions/which-citation-style/) Check if your university or course guidelines specify which [citation style](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/citation-styles/) to use. If the choice is left up to you, consider which style is most commonly used in your field. - [APA Style](https://www.scribbr.com/category/apa-style/) is the most popular citation style, widely used in the social and behavioral sciences. - [MLA style](https://www.scribbr.com/category/mla/) is the second most popular, used mainly in the humanities. - [Chicago notes and bibliography style](https://www.scribbr.com/?cat_ID=6173) is also popular in the humanities, especially history. - [Chicago author-date style](https://www.scribbr.com/chicago-style/author-date/) tends to be used in the sciences. Other more specialized styles exist for certain fields, such as Bluebook and [OSCOLA](https://www.scribbr.co.uk/referencing/oscola/) for law. The most important thing is to choose one style and use it consistently throughout your text. #### Cite this Scribbr article If you want to cite this source, you can copy and paste the citation or click the “Cite this Scribbr article” button to automatically add the citation to our free Citation Generator. > Caulfield, J.

To [cite](https://www.scribbr.com/category/citing-sources/) a page from a website, you need a short [in-text citation](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/in-text-citation-styles/) and a corresponding reference stating the author’s name, the date of publication, the title of the page, the website name, and the URL. This information is presented differently in different citation styles. [APA](https://www.scribbr.com/category/apa-style/), [MLA](https://www.scribbr.com/category/mla/), and [Chicago](https://www.scribbr.com/category/chicago-style/) are the most commonly used styles.

The in-text citation usually just lists the author’s name. For a long page, you may specify a (shortened) section heading to locate the specific passage. Don’t use paragraph numbers unless they’re specifically numbered on the page. \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| MLA format \| Author last name, First name. “Page Title.” Website Name, Day Month Year, URL. \| \| [MLA Works Cited entry](https://www.scribbr.com/mla/works-cited/) \| Brice, Makini. “U.S. Senate Expected to Begin Debating Coronavirus Package on Thursday.” Reuters, 4 March 2021, www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-congress/u-s-senate-expected-to-begin-debating-coronavirus-package-on-thursday-idUSKBN2AW18U. \| \| [MLA in-text citation](https://www.scribbr.com/mla/in-text-citations/) \| (Brice) \| The same format is used for [blog posts and online articles](https://www.scribbr.com/mla/website-citation/#citing-online-articles) from newspapers and magazines.

Scribbr, “Citing Sources.” \| ## Frequently asked questions about citations [How do I cite a source with no author?](https://www.scribbr.com/frequently-asked-questions/cite-source-with-no-author/) In [APA](https://www.scribbr.com/category/apa-style/), [MLA](https://www.scribbr.com/category/mla/), and [Chicago style](https://www.scribbr.com/category/chicago-style/) citations for sources that don’t list a specific author (e.g. many [websites](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/cite-a-website/)), you can usually list the organization responsible for the source as the author. If the organization is the same as the website or publisher, you shouldn’t repeat it twice in your reference: - In APA and Chicago, omit the website or publisher name later in the reference. - In MLA, omit the [author element](https://www.scribbr.com/mla/authors/) at the start of the reference, and cite the source title instead. If there’s no appropriate organization to list as author, you will usually have to begin the citation and reference entry with the title of the source instead. [How do I cite a source with no page numbers?](https://www.scribbr.com/frequently-asked-questions/cite-source-with-no-page-numbers/) When you want to cite a specific passage in a source without page numbers (e.g. an e-book or [website](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/cite-a-website/)), all the main [citation styles](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/citation-styles/) recommend using an alternate locator in your [in-text citation](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/in-text-citation-styles/). You might use a heading or chapter number, e.g. (Smith, 2016, ch. 1) In [APA Style](https://www.scribbr.com/category/apa-style/), you can count the paragraph numbers in a text to identify a location by paragraph number. [MLA](https://www.scribbr.com/category/mla/) and [Chicago](https://www.scribbr.com/?cat_ID=6173) recommend that you only use paragraph numbers if they’re explicitly marked in the text. For audiovisual sources (e.g. [videos](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/cite-a-video/)), all styles recommend using a timestamp to show a specific point in the video when relevant. [Which citation style should I use?](https://www.scribbr.com/frequently-asked-questions/which-citation-style/) Check if your university or course guidelines specify which [citation style](https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/citation-styles/) to use. If the choice is left up to you, consider which style is most commonly used in your field. - [APA Style](https://www.scribbr.com/category/apa-style/) is the most popular citation style, widely used in the social and behavioral sciences. - [MLA style](https://www.scribbr.com/category/mla/) is the second most popular, used mainly in the humanities. - [Chicago notes and bibliography style](https://www.scribbr.com/?cat_ID=6173) is also popular in the humanities, especially history. - [Chicago author-date style](https://www.scribbr.com/chicago-style/author-date/) tends to be used in the sciences. Other more specialized styles exist for certain fields, such as Bluebook and [OSCOLA](https://www.scribbr.co.uk/referencing/oscola/) for law. The most important thing is to choose one style and use it consistently throughout your text. #### Cite this Scribbr article If you want to cite this source, you can copy and paste the citation or click the “Cite this Scribbr article” button to automatically add the citation to our free Citation Generator. > Caulfield, J.
