How do I cite a website with no author in Word?Works Cited Entry Template: “Title of the Webpage/Entry.” Title of the Website, Name of the publisher (if different from the website name), Date of publication, URL. When there isn't a known author, use the source's title in the in-text citation.

An MLA website citation includes the author's name, the title of the page (in quotation marks), the name of the website (in italics), the publication date, and the URL (without “https://”).
