Detailed explanation-1: -If there are no page numbers on the electronic source, use only the author name or the first main word of the title. However, you can indicate where the material came from in your text. There are occasions where you may find a source that quotes another source that you want to use in your paper.
Detailed explanation-2: -If there are no page numbers, paragraph numbers, or obvious subdivisions, cite the author’s name in a signal phrase in the text rather than in parentheses at the end of the sentence.
Detailed explanation-3: -Unknown Author If the work does not have an author, cite the source by its title in the signal phrase or use the first word or two in the parentheses. Titles of books and reports are italicized; titles of articles, chapters, and web pages are in quotation marks.
