hi all:

I don't know how to cite an APA Div. source that has been accessed some time ago and doesn't exist any longer, has no author name. I am finishing a paper for pub. that others worked on before. Do just say like American P...A... Div. blah blah blah. Accessed etc....without author??

Don't tell me to go to the manual, it's not in there. What would you do?

Thx much,
Ms. Phipps
 
I'd cite the organization (i.e., "American Psychological Association Division XX") as the author in references and in text. Does it have a publication date? If there's not one, use "n. d."

FYI, the 6th ed of APA no longer requires access dates in references.
