In-text referencing when paraphrasing from a website where there is an authorising body/institution/corporation but no named author.

There are two options for in-text referencing:

  1. Adding a citation at the end of a sentence.
  2. Using the author’s name as part of your sentence.

Essential information to include:

  • The name of the organisation.
  • The year of publication.

The following sentences were taken from:

Telstra 2007, $3 million up for grabs to bring older Australians into technical age, Telstra, Australia, viewed 15th August 2007,
