citing the website

Description
Hello,
I have a question about citing information from your website that is not from the User Guide for which I have already found a reference. Should I cite it as Understanding Society or the Institute of Social and Economic Research as the author?
thanks

Dear Georgina,
In addition to our previous answer, we also encourage our users to cite the data itself. Depending on which datasets you are using:
If you are using the mainstage EUL version:
