All of these are shown with authors' names, but if there isn't an author, then you just skip that and start with the title of the online article, follow with the date and other information as indicated.

Certainly! Here's an example of an APA format citation for an internet source when no author name is given:
Title of the web page. (Year, Month Day). Retrieved from URL
Let's break it down:
1. Title of the web page: Start the citation with the title of the specific web page you are referencing. This should be in sentence case, which means only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized.
2. Year, Month Day: Include the year the website was published or last updated, followed by the full month spelled out and the day (if available). Enclose the date in parentheses and follow the date with a period.
3. Retrieved from URL: Include the complete URL (web address) of the specific webpage you used. The URL should be preceded by "Retrieved from" and followed by a period.
Here's an example of how the citation would look:
National Aeronautics and Space Administration. (2021, January 5). Hubble reveals gigantic cluster containing a million stars. Retrieved from https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/hubble-reveals-gigantic-cluster-containing-a-million-stars
In this example, the website is from NASA and the web page being referenced is titled "Hubble reveals gigantic cluster containing a million stars." The page was published or last updated on January 5, 2021. The URL points to the specific webpage used as the source of information.
Remember, it's always a good idea to double-check the specific requirements of your assignment or publication to ensure you are following the preferred citation style accurately.
