Did you know there are rules when it comes to citing online content using APA format? Here's the lowdown.
First things first, if individual authors aren't named, the sponsoring organization becomes the author. For example, if it's an article from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's health literacy page, they'd be the ones credited.
Now, when authors aren't listed and no organizational affiliation is visible, APA lets you start the citation with the page title, just like in reference works. But this is more common in, say, a Wikipedia-type setting.
As for identifying the writers behind the content, it's tricky. Staff authors are usually unnamed unless stated explicitly. To find them, check out the "About Us" page for contributor info or look for the article footer or byline section, though these areas often lack personal identifiers.
Without directly accessing the specific website, it's tough to pinpoint individual staff members using standard citation practices. To get the most accurate attribution, reach out to the website's editorial team or look into their authorship disclosure policies.
Fun fact: APA doesn't demand staff member identification unless authors are named in the source material.
Pro Tip: When you're stuck, try hovering that cursor and hitting Command + F (or Control + F on a PC) for a quick search to find the author’s name. Boom, problem solved!
- In the 'About Us' section of a website, you might find the staff members contributing to the main content of the platform, but it's not uncommon for staff authors to remain unnamed unless specifically stated.
- When scrolling through an online article or 'reference works' on entertainment, pop- culture, or other topics, keep an eye out for the 'byline section' or footer, as these areas often contain the author's name or personal identifiers.
- In the case of a Wikipedia-type setting, when the individual authors aren't listed and no organizational affiliation is visible, the page title can serve as the initial citation in APA format, making it easier to keep track of 'ul' (unlisted) authors and the content they've written.
