I have found a web page with no author, date or publisher - how do I reference it?

If you do not know who has written or published the content, then you should first consider if it is suitable for academic work. The Being Digital activity about evaluating information will help with this.

You can still format a reference for a web page by using the page title in place of the author and 'no date' for the year. You should be able to work out the publisher by checking links to the homepage.

Find out more by completing the Referencing websites activity on Being Digital.
