I copied a photo off a website, but it has no author. Should I mention the site only for my Works Cited page?
(Broken Link Removed)
On this webpage, the items are listed in the order you should put them when you cite something off the Internet; this includes photos.
If there is nothing for #1, then you move on to #2, and so forth. You will NEVER be able to include all of these items, but they should occur in this order.
If you'll post what you put together, I'll check it for you.
I wrote down, "9 Mar. 2010" and then the website. Is that good?
You need a title.
What is the title or topic of the photo?
When citing a photo that does not have an author, it is important to provide as much information as possible to give credit and enable others to find the source. If the website is the only information available, you can include it in your Works Cited page. However, it is generally recommended to provide additional details if possible. Here's how you can proceed:
1. Check for any available information: Before citing the website alone, make sure you have thoroughly reviewed the webpage or website where you found the photo. Look for any additional information that might help in identifying the author or the original source. This can include the website's title, the name of the organization or company that owns the website, the publication date (if available), or any copyright information.
2. Use the website as the title: If you cannot find any information about the author or the original source, use the website's name as the title of the photo in your citation. Place it in quotation marks or italicize it, depending on the citation style you are using.
3. Provide the URL: Include the URL of the webpage where you found the photo. Make sure the link is clickable and accurate.
4. Follow the citation style guidelines: Different citation styles, such as MLA, APA, or Chicago, have specific rules for citing online images. Consult the guidelines associated with your assigned citation style to ensure you format the citation properly.
Remember, when in doubt, it's always better to include as much information as possible to provide proper credit and assist others in locating the original source.
