Explain
When the author of a work is unknown, begin with the work’s title.
Titles of articles and other short works, such as brief documents from Web sites, are put in quotation marks. Titles of books and other long works, such as entire Web sites, are italicized.
Before concluding that the author of a Web source is unknown, check carefully. Also remember that an organization may be the author.
