APA Style (7th ed.)

As per the APA Style rules regarding works with no author (2020), "move the title of the work to the author position (followed by a period), before the date of publication" (p. 289):

  • In text, use double quotation marks around titles unless they are italicized in the references and “if the title is long, shorten it for the in-text citation” (American Psychological Association [APA], 2020, p. 265). For example: (“Cuts”, 2020, para. 4). See "Unknown or anonymous author" on pages 264-265 of the APA manual for more information.
  • Resources without an identified author should not be listed in the references as having "Anonymous" as the author. Please check the resource to see if there is a corporate author for the resource or use the format shown above. Only resources with "Anonymous" noted as the author should use "Anonymous" in the in-text citations and references (APA, 2020, p. 289).
