Turabian Website Citation Generator

In Notes-Bibliography: Footnote: Author First Last, "Page Title," Website Name, published or modified date, URL. Bibliography: Last, First. "Page Title." Website Name. Published or modified date. URL. Include an access date if no publication date is available.

Include an access date only when the source has no publication or modification date, or when the content is likely to change, such as wikis or frequently updated pages. Turabian 9th edition does not require access dates for stable, dated online content.

Cite a blog post like a webpage. Footnote: Author First Last, "Post Title," Blog Name (blog), Month Day, Year, URL. Bibliography: Last, First. "Post Title." Blog Name (blog). Month Day, Year. URL. Adding "(blog)" after the blog name helps identify the source type.

For online news articles, treat them similarly to print articles but include the URL. Footnote: Author First Last, "Article Title," Publication Name, Month Day, Year, URL. Bibliography: Last, First. "Article Title." Publication Name, Month Day, Year. URL.

If no individual author is identified, use the organization or website name as the author. If the organization name and website name are the same, begin with the page title and omit the duplicate organization name to avoid redundancy.

Cite social media in a footnote or note. Include the author or username, text of the post or a description, the platform name, the date, and the URL. Social media posts are typically cited only in notes, not in the bibliography, unless they are central to the argument.

Follow the citation system required by your instructor or discipline. Humanities courses typically use Notes-Bibliography footnotes. Sciences and social sciences typically use Author-Date. Both systems can cite websites; the formatting rules differ but the required information is the same.
