The MLA Handbook highlights principles over prescriptive practices. Essentially, a writer will need to take note of primary elements in every source, such as author, title, etc. and then assort them in a general format. Thus, by using this methodology, a writer will be able to cite any source regardless of whether it&#;s included in this list.
However, this guide will highlight a few concerns when citing digital sources in MLA style.

I have found a web page with no author, date or publisher - how do I reference it?
If you can’t find out who has written or published the content of a website, you should first consider if it is suitable for use in academic work. This Being Digital activity about evaluating information will help with this.
You can still create a reference by using the page title in place of the author and 'no date' for the year. Check your referencing style for how to format this. You should be able to work out the publisher by checking links to the homepage, and you could use that as the author in your reference.
