Lost Author? No Problem! Mastering APA In-Text Citations When the Writer's MIA

Navigating APA style can feel like a treasure hunt, especially when the author of your source is missing! But don't worry, you can still properly cite your information. When you encounter a source without an author, the title takes its place in the in-text citation.

Think of it like this: the title is stepping in for the author's name. So, instead of (Author, Year), you'll use ("Title", Year). If the title is long, shorten it to a few words. Make sure to enclose the title in quotation marks. For example: ("The Impact of Social Media", 2023).

Remember, accuracy is key. Ensure your reference list entry corresponds precisely with the information used in your in-text citation. Mastering these small details keeps your work credible and plagiarism-free! Good luck and happy citing!
