The Endeavour College of Natural Health uses the American Psychological Association 7th edition (APA 7) referencing style. 

 

 

When citing a webpage with no individual authors APA 7 defaults to the group or organisational author.

If the organisational author is the same as the sitename, omit the sitename element from the reference list entry. We don't repeat information in APA 7th edition.
