Website
(Author, year)
Example 1: (Melteig, 2016)
When a website has no personal author, include the name of the responsible organization/institution. If there is no responsible organization/institution, use the title of the page as the substitute for the author/organization.
Example 2: (The Economist Intelligence Unit, 2016)
Note: If you are referring to a website in general, include only the website name in your text, and the URL in parenthesis. For example: Nysgjerrigper (https://www.nysgjerrigper.no/) is the content for children by Forskningsrådet.
If no individual author is identified, cite the institution or organisation as the author.
