How to Reference in Turabian

Referencing Websites

Today there are a lot more references available online. BE CAREFUL which websites you choose to reference. Make sure it is a credible source. Do NOT reference Wikipedia, as the content on the site can be edited by anyone so there is no guarantee about the credibility of the information.

When citing these sources the general principles noted above apply. NOTE: You also need to include the URL and, if the source does not list the date of publication or date last modified, include the date you accessed the website (this helps to show when the site was active).

• Name of author(s) (if given);
• Title and (if any) subtitle - in "inverted commas";
• Name of website or site owner - only in italics if there is an associated print version, e.g. The New York Times, but Gizmodo;
• Date of publication or revision (if given) OR date of access (if undated);
• URL.

i. First citation in the footnotes
