First, check if the source has a group author.

A group author means an organization, government agency, company, or other form of group is responsible for the content:

• On a website, look at the top for a banner or logo that appears on every page or find the contact information (for example, the "About Us" page).
• In a document or report, look at the first 1-3 pages to see if a group is listed as the author or publisher of the information.

Note: Only refer to an author as Anonymous if the work is signed as Anonymous.

If you cannot find a person(s) or group listed as the author, move the title into the author position.

If APA calls for an italicized title in your reference, italicize the title in your citation as well.
