Sources with an organisation as author

Answer

If there are no individually named authors, but an organisation or corporation is clearly responsible for the resource, you can use their name instead.

( Organisation name, Year )

Always write out the organisation's name in full the first time that you use it. If you want to save words after this by referring to it by its initials instead, add the initials in brackets after this first use.

Example:

First use:

A report by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) (2017) stated...

Later uses:

...libraries are "eager to work more collaboratively and develop partnerships." (IFLA, 2017).

In your reference list, you should write out the organisation's name in full.
