Here is a sample Web page citation in several different format styles.

URL - Copy and paste the URL from your browser address bar.

Access Date - Enter the month, day, and year you looked at the Web page (e.g., April 5, 2014).

If none is given, enter 'n.d.' (for 'no date'). If it is not, look for a copyright year at the bottom of the Web page.

Year - If the article is dated, use that year.

You may end up using the organization's name if no title is apparent.

If there is not an obvious name, look at the URL for a clue. If not, use the name of the overall Web page.

Title - If the article has its own title, use that.

(This is to prevent EndNote from interpreting this as first/last names, which would erroneously result in a 'person' named Society A.C.) If there is no individual named, you can use the organization as the author, such as 'American Cancer Society' followed by a comma.

Author - If there are one or more personal names associated with the specific page or article you are citing, enter them using the format 'Smith, Sandra B.' Use a return between each person's name.

In the blank reference, use the 'Reference Type' pull-down menu to change the selection from the default 'Journal Article' to 'Web Page.' Type or paste in as much of the following information as you can ascertain (see screenshot below): In an EndNote library, go to References and choose New Reference.

(Click here for a short video titled ' Adding a Manual Reference to EndNote.') Keep in mind that Web sites can be tricky to cite because information is not always consistent or clear. In many or even most cases, it will be necessary to manually enter a new reference in EndNote if you are trying to cite a Web page.
