How do I Cite a Website Using EasyBib
EasyBib is an online tool that can create citations in various formats. For this example, we will cite this article on the Industrial Revolution:
Step 1: Go to EasyBib’s website
In your browser, go to www.easybib.com. At the top bar, click on “Citations.”
Step 2: Select citation format
Select the latest MLA format from the dropdown menu.
Step 3: Create citation
Click “Create Citation”. When prompted, choose the type of source you are citing. In this case, a website.
Step 4: Paste the URL
Go to the website page you wish to cite and copy the URL.
Paste it into the search bar on EasyBib and click “Search”.
Select the website from the list when it pops up by pressing “Cite”.
Step 5: Fixing incomplete information
You will be shown a page showing any missing information for the citation. Click “Continue” to manually fill in any missing information. You will have to check the website for this information.
Step 6: What to do with incomplete information.
In some scenarios, you may not be able to find the information required. In these cases, follow these protocols:
Multiple unnamed authors
If there is no author listed, and the article was written by the staff of a website, company, or organization, write “(Website) Staff” in the “First Name” field.
- In this example, we will write “History.com Staff”
No author name
If there is no author name and there is no indication of authors writing on behalf of a website, company, or organization, leave this field blank.
Incomplete publication information
List as many details as are given. If you only have the year of publication, list the year. If you have the year and month, list the year and month.
Step 7: Complete and share the citation
At the bottom of the page, click “Complete Citation”.
Simply hover over the citation and click “Copy Citation” to copy the text.
- If you receive a message telling you to view a sponsored message, click "View Sponsored Message".
