The idea
When a source has no author, use its title in the signal phrase or a shortened title in the parentheses.
In practice
Put a shortened article title in quotation marks and a book title in italics, followed by a page number if there is one.
Where people slip
An organization that published a work can serve as its author; check before treating a work as anonymous.
