Same rules apply, friend. If it’s a PDF with no author, treat it like a website. Use the PDF’s title in quotes. If it’s a blog post, use the post title in quotes (but italicize the blog’s name). The universe of no-author citations is smaller than you think. It’s a cozy little club, and you’re already a member.

One more pro tip: never make up an author. I know it’s tempting. “Hmm, this seems like something Alice Johnson would write.” Stop. That’s academic fraud, and also just weird. Stick to the title. The title is your rock. The title is your life raft.

The Secret Sauce: Consistency Across Your Whole Paper

Here’s where most people trip. They use a title in one in-text citation, then try to find the author in the Works Cited. Spoiler: there is no author. So you’re searching for someone who doesn’t exist. It’s like looking for your keys while holding them. Drives everyone crazy.

Double-check that your in-text citation’s shortened title matches the first word of your full citation. If you wrote (“Government Spies”) in the text, your Works Cited better start with “Government Spies.” Matchy-matchy is the name of the game. Otherwise, your professor will give you the look. You know the look.
