If you need to provide a reference for your information source, there are a few 'standards' for citing pages, examples shown below. You can use one of these reference styles and insert the correct details, or use the style recommended by your institution.

Details Required

The details you need to reference any of the pages of this website can be found at the base of most pages. Look there first.

  • Author Name: In most cases (especially if no other author is listed) the content is created and published by Robert J Wood.
  • Published Date: This is the date that the information was first placed online. The base of each page has this date. In many cases (except for new content) this date is estimated, as this information has only recently been added to the site.
  • Retrieved Date: use today's date (or the date the article was accessed if not today)
  • Website Name: Topend Sports
  • Website URL: https://new.topendsports.com
  • Article Title: The title of the webpage is often at the top of the browser window. The information listed at the base of each page has this information too.
