In any academic work, it is vital to give credit to work done by others. However, there are many ways to cite references. Knowing which style to use can sometimes be confusing.
If you are a student, you should check with your educator about which reference style they prefer. Alternatively, you can check any guides provided by your institution.
If you require additional guidance on how to reference materials, LabXchange recommends APA style for citing a website.
When citing a website in a research paper, the basic structure is as follows:
Author surname, initial(s). (Year, month day). Title. Retrieved from URL
