MLA citing?
If I’m citing an article I found online for my Bio paper and there’s no author (it’s a legit site: medterms.com), what do I do?
Instead of (Author, date) is it (Article name, date)?

Okay…for MLA documentation, if you have a source that does not have an author you would use the title of the source in the parenthetical citation. The period should be placed after the citation.

I would recommend that you provide the unabridged URL to that exact webpage, you know, not just the medterms.com, but http:// before it and the the slash and everything that follows the slash after it as well, and credit the citation to “Author currently unknown”.
Or, you might want to copy and paste a significant portion of the info you are citing into the place where it says “search” at the top of this page and see if you cannot find another webpage of the same stuff that does have the author’s name listed.

if there’s no author in an article, just cite it without the author, write down everything else. on your works cited page, use the title for alphabetizing.
