Detailed explanation-1: -Citations are placed in the context of discussion using the author’s last name and date of publication. When a work has no identified author, cite in text the first few words of the article title using double quotation marks, “headline-style” capitalization, and the year.
Detailed explanation-2: -If no author is listed, use a shortened title of the work. Put the title in quotation marks if it’s a short work (such as an article) or italicize it if it’s a longer work (such as books or entire websites), and include page numbers (if there are any).
Detailed explanation-3: -How do I cite a source with no title in MLA style? When a source has no title, this part of your MLA reference is replaced with a description of the source, in plain text (no italics or quotation marks, sentence-case capitalization).
Detailed explanation-4: -How do you cite a website in APA 7th edition no author? When you have a website in APA 7 with no author, you use the title, date, publisher, and URL. There is no period after the URL in the citation. Additionally, a website title is in italics.
