In-text citation:
* For short titles: Use the full title (or as much as fits comfortably) in quotation marks. For example: ("Website Title," 2023).
* For long titles: Shorten the title and enclose it in quotation marks. Use a consistent shortening method throughout your paper. For example, if the title is "The Extremely Long and Tedious Title of This Document," you might cite it as ("Extremely Long Title," 2023).
In the bibliography/works cited:
List the entry alphabetically by the title of the work. Here's the general format:
For a website:
* "Title of Web Page." *Name of Website*, date of publication, URL.
Example:
"Understanding Climate Change." *National Geographic*, 15 October 2023, [insert URL here].
For an article in a website with no author:
* "Title of Article." *Name of Website*, date of publication, URL.
Example:
"The Effects of Caffeine on Sleep." *Medical News Today*, 20 October 2023, [insert URL here].
For a book:
* *Title of Book*. Publisher, year of publication.
Example:
*The Guide to Effective Writing*. Oxford University Press, 2022.
Important Considerations:
* Consistency: Use the same shortened title throughout your paper.
* Accuracy: Double-check all details (dates, URLs, publisher information) for accuracy.
* Style Guide: Follow the specific guidelines of the style guide you're using (e.g., MLA, APA, Chicago). These guidelines might have slight variations.
* Anonymous works: If the work is explicitly identified as anonymous, you can use "Anonymous" in place of the title in the bibliography, but still use the title in the in-text citation.
Remember to replace the bracketed information with the actual details of your source. Always prioritize accuracy and consistency in your citations.
