Referencing websites
As a rule, you should avoid using text from other websites. In particular, do not use sites that provide content that is of questionable or unverified quality. If there is a book or article on the website, you should add citation/references as for a journal article. However, if there is no other option (and the teacher accepts it) then it is possible.
Entry in the References section:
- if the author is known, you should start with "Surname I.,"
- if the release year is known, add it. If not, enter current year, i.e. "(2015),"
- page title in italics with link (if the specific page has a title): '' [http: // ... Page title] '',
- name of the website, e.g. "University of California"
Do not link to the main page, unless the article is directly related to an institution.
Referencing in the text:
- if the author is known: (Surname YEAR)
- if not, then (Title fragment... YEAR)
Websites to avoid
- for technical reasons, links to amazonaws.com work only on one computer - find another source of pdf document
- some websites may publish content with questionable copyrights, only content from legal sources should be used
- some websites do not verify sufficiently published content, eg: study.com, slideshare.net, investopedia.com, - you should not link or use text from these sites
The above list of pages is not complete. The teacher will pay attention to any suspicious urls.
