1. Use the title of the work. Instead of the author's name, use the title of the article, book, website, or other source in the place where the author's name would usually go.
2. Shorten the title if necessary. If the title is very long, you can shorten it to the first few words, followed by an ellipsis (...). For example, instead of "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare," you could use "The Complete Works...".
3. Italicize or put in quotation marks. If the source is a book, website, or other complete work, italicize the title. If the source is an article or part of a larger work, put the title in quotation marks.
4. Include the publishing information. This includes the publisher, publication date, and any other relevant details, such as the volume or issue number.
Here's an example of how to cite a website article with no author in MLA format:

* Works Cited entry: "Social Media Trends." *The Social Media Journal*, 15 Feb. 2023, www.socialmediajournal.com.
Here's an example of how to cite a book with no author in MLA format:
* In-text citation: (*The Art of Cooking* 2020)
* Works Cited entry: *The Art of Cooking*. Penguin Random House, 2020.
Remember to be consistent with how you format the title and the publishing information. If you're unsure about any part of the citation, consult an MLA style guide or online resource.
