Frequently Asked Questions

What if my source does not have an author?

  • If there is no author start with the title of your source, followed by the date. In your reference list, alphabetize by the first significant word in the title. 

What if my source has more than 20 authors?

  • If you have more than 20 authors include the names of the first 19, insert an ellipsis...and then add the final author's name. You will not need to use an ampersand & in this reference. The in-text citation will be (last name of the first author et all., publication date). 

What if my source does not have a date?

  • If there is no date, put n.d. in parentheses.
