Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If no author or creator is provided, start the citation with the title of the source you are citing instead. Do not use “Anonymous” as the author’s name. Use the first one, two, or three main words from the title, in either italics or in “quotation marks” (the same way it is written in your Works Cited list).

Detailed explanation-2: -Instead of the author’s name, include the first few words of the work’s title in the in-text citation. Enclose the title in double quotation marks when citing an article, web page or book chapter. Italicize the title of periodicals, books, and reports.

Detailed explanation-3: -Remember that for an in-text (parenthetical) citation of a book with no author, you should provide the name of the work in the signal phrase and the page number in parentheses. You may also use a shortened version of the title of the book accompanied by the page number.

Detailed explanation-4: -Author name. Title of publication. Article title (if using a journal) Date of publication. Place of publication. Publisher. Volume number of a journal, magazine or encyclopedia. Page number(s) 06-Jun-2022
