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. It may appear at the end of the page, in tiny print, or on another page of the site, such as the home page.
  • Also remember that an organization or a government agency may be the author.
