What goes into the author field (the first part of an APA citation) on a Reference page if there is no author or editor listed?


The date of publisher

The location of the publisher

The title of the work that is being cited, for example, the title of the article

None of the above

I need help with this one

If there's no author, usually you would use whatever the next element is, but to start an entry with the date of publication is nuts.

Therefore, I'd say you would start with the title ...

When there is no author or editor listed for a source, the first part of an APA citation on a Reference page should include the title of the work that is being cited. This applies to both books and articles.

Here's how you can find the answer to this question:

1. Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA). The manual provides specific guidelines for formatting citations in APA style. You can access the manual online or consult a physical copy if you have one.

2. Look up the section in the manual that covers citations for sources with no author or editor. APA guidelines often have specific instructions for different types of sources, so make sure you are referencing the correct section.

3. Alternatively, consult reputable online sources or APA citation generators that provide guidance on creating citations in APA style.

Remember, it's always a good practice to double-check the guidelines in the APA manual to ensure accuracy and reliability.
