How do I cite a webpage from a website in CSE Style?

Answer

This question has been updated to the 9th edition of CSE Style. If you are using 8th edition, see this Library Handout, Quick Guide, or contact a librarian.

 

CSE Name-Year Style recommends:

 

For websites with an individual author for the page:

Author Last Name First Initial(s). Year Mon Day (if available). Webpage title. Name of website or organization;      updated date (formatted updated Year Mon Day, if available). URL

Graham R. 2017 Feb 6. Long overdue: why public libraries are finally eliminating the late-return fine. Slate.      https://slate.com/culture/2017/02/librarians-are-realizing-that-overdue-fines-undercut-libraries-      missions.html

For websites without an individual author for the page:

Title of webpage. Date of webpage (if available, if none use [date unknown]).      Name of website or organization; updated date (formatted updated Year Mon Day, if available). URL

Ask-a-librarian. [date unknown]. James A. Cannavino Library; [accessed 2023 Aug 22].      https://libguides.marist.edu/ask

 

Many webpages will not have specific dates, refer to the Library’s FAQs on “How Do I Cite Sources that Don’t Have a Date?” or “How Do I Cite a Webpage that Only Provides a Copyright Date Range?”

 

If you need further help, contact a librarian.
