Line Up Date Article For Free

If you're looking at a single page within a website, the publication or last updated date may be near the page title (toward the top of the page) or at the very bottom of the page. It will usually include a day, month and year. (When you cite a web article or specific web page, this is the date you'll need.)

This information is included where you find the citation and is usually on the copyright page of a book, on the first page of an article, at the front of a periodical, or at the bottom of a Web page. When was the Web site last updated?

A published article always has a date of publication. A preprint doesn't have to, but it's just it ? a preprint.

Author information can sometimes be found under an "About" section on a website. If there is no known author, start the citation with the title of the website instead. The best date to use for a website is the date that the content was last updated. Otherwise look for a copyright or original publication date.

Use Google to Find the Published Date Now, copy and paste the page's URL right next to inurl: and press Enter or click the magnifying glass (Google Search). In the URL box at the top (not the search box in Google), add &as_qdr=y15 to the end of the URL, then press Enter. A date should now appear in the page results.

You can find the placement of the journal name, page number, publication date, and volume and issue number located on the top or bottom of the article's page. The publication date may be a single year (2013), a distinct month (October 2010), specific publication cycle (Fall 2007), or an exact date (June 28, 2005).

Look underneath the headline of an article or post for a publication date. Check the very bottom of the webpage for a copyright date. Use Google Search's operator "inurl:" along with the string "&as_qdr=y15" to find the date published. Open the source code with "CTRL+U" (Windows) or "Command+U" (Mac).
