Anon. Date. Title article. Title of encyclopaedia, volume of encyclopedia, page reference.

APA
example
Anon. 1983. Medieval manuscripts. Encyclopedia Americana, 14:346-347.
Notes
  • An anonymous (no author) article in an encyclopedia.
  • Because the encyclopedia is so well known, place of publication and publishers are not necessary.
  • The title of the encyclopedia is underlined, NOT the title of the article.
  • 14 = the number of the volume in the set.
  • 346-347 = the page numbers in volume 14.
