Notes

If you use more than one webpage from the same website, create a new reference list entry for each one.
When the author name and the site name are the same, the site name can be left out of the source element. See World Health Organization example above.
If you discuss any website or page in general in the text (including but not limited to social media), it is sufficient to give the URL in the text the first time it is mentioned. No reference list entry is needed e.g. The Quality Improvement Agency website is a valuable resource (http://www.qia.org.uk/).
If headings are used cite the first few words of the heading and the number of the paragraph following to direct the reader e.g. (Regolith, 2010, "On the Earth", para. 6).
Include a retrieval date only if the source material is likely to change over time.
If there is no date on a webpage you can use (n.d.) in place of the date.
