Online Citation
- When a citation includes a digital object identifier (DOI), no further retrieval information is
needed.
- When a DOI is not available, and a URL is included, do not include retrieval dates unless the
source material may change over time (such as Wikipedia, Quora, etc.).
- Retrieval information is needed when citing journals available only in an internet journals, non-
periodical (multipage documents created by private organization, no date), chapter or sections
in an internet document, lecture notes available online, or daily newspaper articles.
Use the most recent date on which the information was modified if several dates are given.
Use the year 2016 in the in-text citation and reference list, for instance, if the website states that
the content was last updated on August 6, 2016, after being first published in 2010, for example. If
the website indicates that it was last reviewed in July 2016 and was published in 2010, use that
date instead because a review does not mean that any content was altered.Adapted from:
