Formatting Rules
- Always double-check generated citations against your institution's official style guide.
- For websites without a clear author, you can often use the organization or website name as the author.
- MLA format typically requires the access date for websites, whereas APA only requires it if the content is likely to change.
- Use sentence case for article titles in APA (capitalize only the first word and proper nouns), but title case for MLA.
