Question

Which citation correctly reflects MLA guidelines for a website without an author?

Answer 1

When citing a website without an author in MLA format, start with the title of the page or the site.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to MLA guidelines, when citing a website without an author, you should start with the title of the page or the site if the page has no title.

For example, if you were citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook website, the citation would look like this:

"Food Preparation Workers." Occupational Outlook Handbook, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1 Sept. 2020, www.bls.gov/ooh/food-preparation-and-serving/food-preparation-workers.htm.

Answer 2

It is written in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the ever-increasing amount of information found online, it has become quite common to use them as a citation source. They often may lack an author's name, but still, they require s proper citation. Some basic rules to follow are:

- first, we write the title of the work, the article or the web-page

- we follow with the title of the website (italicized)

- next is the publisher's name and the year of publication

- finally, since this is an on-line article we copy its URL

So to summarize: "Title of the article, work or web-page". Title of the website, Name of the publisher, Year, URL.

Also, using phrases such as anonymous author or unknown author instead of the author's name, in this case, should be avoided.
