There are times when you will need to refer to a text that is published as a web page. Maybe that page is part of a set of pages that are reminiscent of a book. Below are some alternatives on what constitutes enough information for a reader to be able to identify the source. (More than one of the alternatives may be correct.)

Think as if you have to refere to a book: Is there information about an author? Can the page be likend to a chapter in a book And if that is the case, what is the titel of the whole work "the book". Is there informaion about most recent update? Can the URL be used as a link in the reference?

All I need is the heading on the page and the URL, and information about on what date I collected the information or read the page.

If i am lucky the authors or publishers will provide information about how they want the page to be quoted. But I hav eto check that the format is correct compared to the istructions I have been given for how I should format the references in my paper.
