Note: Use the websites category if no other document type applies. Leave URLs live in order to allow readers to easily locate the sources you are citing.
Dates: Most references include only the year of publication, but more detailed dates may be used for works that are published more frequently and retrieval dates may be used additionally in the case of works wherein the content is unstable and likely to change over time.
Remember, all reference list entries are double spaced and in hanging indent format. Example:
