Quick comprehension check
“Imagine you are using Citation Machine to cite a website. You paste the URL into the generator and click "search." The generator finds the website, but the author's name is missing. Where would you look on the website to find the author's name to fill in the blank on Citation Machine? You are using Citation Machine to cite a news article you found online. After pasting the URL and clicking "search," Citation Machine asks for the publication date. Where on the webpage would you typically find this information to fill in the blank? ”
