APA Citation Guide (APA 7th Edition): Websites

Tips

Use this formatting if there is no other category that fits and the work has no parent or overarching publication (e.g. journal, blog, conference proceeding) other than the website itself. If you cite multiple webpages from a website, create a reference for each.  To mention a website in general, do not create a reference list entry or an in-text citation.  Instead, include the name of the website in the text and provide the URL in parentheses.
