APA (American Psychological Association) Style

APA style requires in-text citations and a reference list. If you don't identify the  name and date of your source in the narrative, that information should be inserted in parentheses within the appropriate sentence or paragraph. If you're citing the entire Abort73 web site (and not a specific page), a reference list entry is not required, so long as the Abort73 URL is included in the text of your paper. Since Abort73 does not list page numbers, paragraph numbers may be used to more specifically target content. The paragraph number should be preceded by the paragraph symbol.

An in-text citation for one of the main Abort73 pages (corporate author) looks like this:

(Abort73.com, 2009 ¶ 7)

An in-text citation for an Abort73 blog entry (individual author) would look something like this:

(Jones, 2009 ¶ 3)

If you're citing multiple Abort73 pages, it may be more helpful to list the page title, rather than than the corporate author, for your in-text citations:

("Medical Testimony," 2009 ¶ 7)

Here are the corresponding reference list examples for the entries above:

Abort73.com. (2009). Medical Testimony. Retrieved February 24, 2009, from http://www.abort73.com/index.php?/abortion/medical_testimony

Jones, J. (2009, February 20). The Bible vs. Abortion: Comparing Two Worldviews. Retrieved February 24, 2009, from http://www.abort73.com/index.php?/blog/the_bible_vs_abortion_comparing_two_worldviews/

MLA (Modern Language Association) Style

MLA style requires in-text citations and a Works Cited list. If you don't identify the name of the source in the narrative, it should be inserted in parentheses within the appropriate sentence or paragraph. Since Abort73 does not list page numbers, paragraph numbers may be used to more specifically target content. The paragraph number(s) should be preceded by the abbreviation "par. or "pars.".

An in-text citation for one of the main Abort73 pages (corporate author) looks like this:

(Abort73.com, par. 7)

An in-text citation for an Abort73 blog entry (individual author) would look something like this:

(Jones, par. 3)

If you're citing multiple Abort73 pages, it may be more helpful to list the page title, rather than than the corporate author, for your in-text citations:

(Medical Testimony, par. 7)

Here are the corresponding Works Cited examples for the entries above. The first date is the electronic publication date. The second date is the date you viewed the page:

The Chicago Manual of Style
