How to Cite APA With No Date

    • 1). Parenthetically cite the last name of the author, date of publication and page number, letting "n.d." stand in for the unknown date of publication. For example:

      (White, n.d., p. 19)

    • 2). Cite directly after a quote or paraphrase from the source material. For example:

      One of the best ways to cook fish is "with a little bit of garlic, but not too much" (White, n.d., p. 19).

    • 3). Organize your reference list entry as usual, replacing the date of publication with "n.d." For example, your reference list entry for a non-periodical website with no date of publication listed might appear as follows:

      White, S. (n.d.). Tips for cooking fish. Retrieved from http://www.cooking.com/fish/recipe1653.htm
