FAQ: How to cite an online source?

[zuphilip]

By default Zotero export an website to a MISC element in BibTeX and with the alpha style only the following elements will be shown:

Author. Title, Year.

It is possible to add the url of the website in the a howpublished of you BibTeX file, e.g.

howpublished = {https://bib.uni-mannheim.de},

resp. if you are using hyperrefthen you can also add this line

howpublished = {\url{https://bib.uni-mannheim.de}},

Moreover, you can save the access data in a note field of your BibTeX file, e.g.

note = {Accessed on 28.3.2018},

This will only show up if you also use the howpublished field.

The above holds for the standard citation styles like plain, unsrt, abbrv, alpha.

An alternative option is to use more advanced citation styles, e.g. natplain from the natbib package, i.e.

\usepackage{natbib}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}

which supports also the url parameter.
