To cite a website with no author, use the title of the webpage or article instead. Place the title in quotation marks, followed by the publication date, and then the URL. For example: "Title of Webpage." Site Name, Date, URL. This method ensures proper attribution despite the absence of an explicit author.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What if the webpage title is too long? Abbreviate the title to a manageable length while retaining its meaning, placing it in quotation marks for citation.
  2. Do I still need the publication date? Yes, including the publication date is important for context and credibility in citations.
  3. Can I use the homepage title for citation? It's better to use the specific webpage title for more accurate attribution, unless the homepage content is relevant.
