Creating citations for web articles or webpages can be challenging. This is because there are far fewer standards for putting information on the internet, than there are for works that go through traditional publishing channels.
You may find that articles you find online are often missing authors and publication dates. Here is what to do.
There is a connection between lack of information about a resource and the quality of that resource. If you find that you are missing more than one piece of information, go back and evaluate your resource for quality.
