APA Style (7th ed.)

Web Page

Royal Roads University. (n.d.). Create a preliminary document plan. https://libguides.royalroads.ca/grad_essay/plan

  • "When the author of the webpage and the publisher of the website are the same, omit the publisher name to avoid repetition" (American Psychological Association, n.d., Webpage on a Website section)
  • In-text citation: (Royal Roads University, n.d., para. X)
  • See Webpage on a Website for more information.

Web Page, No Identified Author, No Date

Leadership. (n.d.). Retrieved from http://management.about.com/od/leadership/Leadership.htm

  • In-text citation: (“Leadership”, n.d., para. X)

Note that many websites will include a generic copyright date at the bottom of every page on the website, and this is not an accurate date of when each page was published. Since there is no further indication of when the specific web page was published in this case, use "no date" instead. 

Entire Website (Not a Specific Document)

Cite the website in the text. For example, “the website for Hatley Park has many beautiful pictures of the gardens (http://http://hatleypark.ca/hatley-park-gardens)."
