How to cite from the web?
I have looked everywhere-no luck, can anyone here help me?
I need to know how I cite from a source from the Internet (a website). I know how to write it in the reference list, but how do I use it in the text??? (Is it just the first two words of the site, and what if the site has a different name?) (I am a non-native speaker of English writing my thesis in English, so I have no clue.)

I don't understand your problem, Ephigenie. You said you knew how to write it in the reference list. Say, you will have the following lines at the end of your thesis: 'References: ...
- I don't understand your problem, Ephigenie.
- You said you knew how to write it in the reference list.
- Say, you will have the following lines at the end of your thesis: 'References: ...
- ' Then you write something inside your thesis thext which is taken from the site and want to give a reference.
- ' I would like to know more about this problem, too.

I have cited like this for books (Smith, 1998), for example and then given the full info in my ref. list.

Hope it helps, Ephigenie. If you are using some special publishing software like LaTex, it will automatically make the correct forms for citations, dates, footnotes etc.

Hi there guest. If you post your username here, using my admin powers I can click a button that will send you your password (you could have the wrong password!!??) If this fails, I'll inform hitchiker immediately (webmaster/admin/mod) about the problem.
Cheers,
