Source with one author
Give the author's surname, year of publication and page number (for a book/journal) when quoting indirectly somebody else's text or texts.
Bailey (2020: 69) states that is important to compare a range of views on a topic to show you are familiar with all sides of a discussion.
If the author’s name is not given, use the name of the organisation (corporate author) if there is one:
If the work has been written by a recognised organisation and has no personal author then it is usually cited under the body that commissioned the work. This applies to publications by associations, companies, government departments. (Anglia Ruskin University Library, 2023).
You should include page numbers in your citation if you are quoting directly from or using ideas from a specific page or set of pages (Open University, 2023).
If there is no named author or organisation, use the title of the resource:
Information from Information Literacy in Higher Education (2015) emphasises that good referencing is an important academic skill.
