Referencing webpages
Use these examples if the page is not from a larger publication eg. newspaper or if no other reference type fits it.
- If you use multiple pages from within the same website, reference each page individually.
- If referring to a website in general, do not include it in the in-text reference or in the reference list. Include website name within the text and add the web address in parentheses. For example - The survey was developed using Checkbox (http://www.checkbox.com)
- Leave out the name of the website if the author and site name are the same.
- If a part of the date is not available eg. not specific date eg. March 16 or no month, just include the year.

The University of Queensland. (2020, October).
The University of Queensland. (2020, October 15).
- If there is no date at all, include n.d.
- If there are references with the same author(s) and year, list them in alphabetically by title in the reference list. For he first of these references, add "a" after the year, b after the year for the second reference and so on. Use the relevant letter after the year in the in-text reference.
