I need to do an intext citation for an internet site, but there is no author mentioned for this specific article, how do i cite this?
If the website you are citing does not have an author, you can use the title of the webpage or article in place of the author's name. If there is no title, you can use the name of the organization or website as the author.
In-text citations for websites with no author follow the same format as those with an author. The only difference is that you will use the title of the webpage or article in place of the author's name, enclosed in quotation marks. For example: ("Title of Webpage").
No, it is not necessary to include a URL in the in-text citation. The purpose of an in-text citation is to provide the reader with enough information to locate the source in your works cited list. Including a URL can make the citation cluttered and difficult to read.
If the website you are citing does not have a publication date, you can use the abbreviation "n.d." (no date) in place of the date. You can also try to locate a publication or revision date on the webpage, or use the copyright date of the website as an approximation.
Yes, in-text citations for websites can be used in any citation style, including APA, MLA, and Chicago. However, each style may have slightly different guidelines for formatting the in-text citation, so it is important to check the specific style guide for the correct format.
