For websites, location refers to the URL (uniform resource locator) or the DOI (digital object identifier).

NOTE: Because we are citing the entire source and not just a chapter, we do not use quotation marks around the title. Instead, we treat the title of the source as we would the container of the source. In this case, we italicize the title of the source.
