Publication date

The IEP has not provided a publication date on article pages since about 2014. However, a publication date can sometimes be found by finding the first Internet Archive of the article, then looking through the RSS feed of the site from that date. For example, for this article:

• http://www.iep.utm.edu/reli-div/

The first archive can be found at

• https://web.archive.org/web/1000/http://www.iep.utm.edu/reli-div/

which redirects to

• https://web.archive.org/web/20151118094015/http://www.iep.utm.edu/reli-div/

which was archived on 2015-11-18 = 18 November 2015. For articles older than 2014, original publication dates and modification dates are at the bottom of the page. Since this is more recent than 2014, clicking on the RSS feed icon Feed-icon in the left sidebar leads to

• https://web.archive.org/web/20151206031358/http://www.iep.utm.edu/feed/

which includes the article under the slightly modified title "Religious Diversity, Theories of" with the following line indicating the

   <pubDate>Mon, 09 Nov 2015 06:19:53 +0000</pubDate>

So the full citation is:

{{cite IEP |last=Tuggy |first=Dale |date=9 November 2015 |title=Theories of religious diversity |url-id=reli-div |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151118094015/http://www.iep.utm.edu/reli-div/ |archive-date=18 November 2015}}
