How do I cite an encyclopedia entry?

Answer

You only need to include four items in each source list entry. This list is the same for all source types:

  • Name of the author or organization that created the source
  • Publication date
  • Title of the source
  • Page numbers (optional, and usually only available for print materials)
  • How to find the source (typically a permalink)

If you are missing any of these required pieces, you would indicate that, as well as shown on page 10 of the SWS Guide.
