常见问题
When should I use 'Retrieved from' in APA website citations? ▼
APA 7th edition simplified this—you may use 'Retrieved from' before the URL, but it's optional if the URL is clearly provided.
How do I cite a webpage with no author? ▼
Start with the title of the webpage in sentence case, then provide the organization/website name, year, and URL: Title of page. (Year). Organization Name. URL
What if the website doesn't have a publication date? ▼
Use (n.d.) to indicate 'no date' in place of the year: Author. (n.d.). Title of page. Site Name. URL
