What to do when a source has an organization or company as an author

Answer

Notes:

  • If an item has a group author e.g., a company name, use that name as the author.
  • If the name is long, you can abbreviate it, but the first time you cite from it, use the full name of the group, followed by the abbreviation. Subsequently, use the abbreviation.
  • In the references, use only the full name of the group or company
