(Author's Last Name, Year Published)

When making a parenthetical in-text citation, what do you do if you are lacking the name of the author?

• Write “n.a.” for “no author”.

• Use the title of the source as an alternative.

• Use the name of the publisher or source’s website as an alternative.

• Skip the author’s name and only include the year it was published.

Answer explanation

If ever the author's name is not listed in the reference material, what should be shown, instead, should be the title of the source. It is important to always identify the ORIGINAL source of the information you use - whether that be the person responsible or the output itself.
