It is often sufficient simply to describe web pages and other website content in the text (“As of May 1, 2017, Yale’s home page listed . . .”). If a more formal citation is needed, it may be styled like the examples below.
When there is no date of publication or revision for a website or web page—that is, when only an access date is used—record n.d. as the date of publication in the reference list entry and for the in-text citation. To avoid conflation with the name of the author, n.d. is always lowercase, and it is preceded by a comma in text citations (14.104)
