APA Citation Guide, 7th edition: Web Page with No Author

Document from a Web site with no Author (p. 264-265; 350-352)

Helpful Tip
  • When citing sources that you find on the Internet you only need to include a retrieval date if the information you viewed is likely to change over time (p. 290).  If you reference an article from a site that may experience continuous updates, you would then need to include a retrieval date.
