Determining the title of a website or part of a website can be confusing.

Title of website is usually the name of the website, such as American Dental Association, Crest, or Northampton Community College.

• Can be found as the web address

• Usually bold letters for the title

Title of the part of the website is usually the name of that webpage, such as NCC Library or Crest Toothpaste

• Usually it is a heading before the content

• May be part of the website

All books have a publisher.

This information is located on the first page of the book, along with the title and the copyright.

Date of publication for journals is the date of that particular issue or the published date  You include the year, month, and day if given.  If only the year is given then use that alone.  The month is abbreviated to 3 letters.  

The format:

1. Year

2. Month, abbreviated and capitalized

3. Day

Examples:

2017 Jun 27

2014 May (no date given)

2016 Apr 6

In this example the publication date is 2015 Dec 21.

Always use the date of the actual journal issue that generally appears in the citation information.  Do not use the published online date for your citations.

Using the example above, you would use 2019 Jan as the publication date in your citation.

Date of publication for websites and part of a website can be confusing

For websites

• Look at the bottom of the main page to locate a date or a copyright date

For parts of websites

• There may be a date near the title of the part of the website
• If you cannot find a specific date, then you can use the copyright date
