See notes ¹, ², ³
¹ If the resource has a corporate author (government body, organization, etc.) use that entity as the author.
² If the corporate author is also the publisher, list the corporate entity as the publisher and skip the author and begin with the resource’s title.
³ According to the MLA Style Center if a resource doesn’t have an author do not use “Anonymous,” instead use the title of the resource. In in-text citations, use a shortened title of the work in place of an author's name. Place the title in quotation marks if it's a short work (such as an article) or italicize it if it's a longer work (e.g. plays, books, television shows, entire Web sites) and provide a page number.
