Gather and list the following elements from the website:

• The author of the article or page (Last name, First name).

• The title of the article or page ("Title or page heading in quotes").

• The title of the website.

• The name of the publisher,

• The date the page or site was published.

• The URL.

• Date of Access.

Format of website citation: Last name, First name. Title of the Article or Individual Page. Title of the website. Name of the publisher, Date of publication, URL. Date of access.

If you can't identify 2 or more elements, this is not a source that should be consulted and used in your project.
