Academics struggle to properly cite websites when publication dates are unclear or missing

Researchers and students frequently encounter websites without clear publication or access dates, making it impossible to follow citation standards (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.). This creates delays in academic work, risks citation errors that affect paper credibility, and forces academics to spend hours researching or guessing at dates. Current citation tools and guidelines don't adequately address this common real-world scenario.
