Citation Style - APA

Be careful! Websites can be tricky to identify. Not everything you find on the web is a website, it can be an ebook,  journal article, government publication, an encyclopedia...etc.

That's why you need to look closely at the material before deciding it's a website. APA treats a source as a website only when it does not fit under another category.
