Q: According to both the MLA Handbook and the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association [APA manual], what are two of the main purposes of documenting your sources or listing references?

Both books say that one of the main purposes of documenting sources or listing references is to enable or assist readers in locating or retrieving and using your sources of information (APA, p. 180; MLA 126). MLA also says we need to give credit to others for the ideas we have borrowed from them.)
- One of the main purposes of documenting sources or listing references is to figure out what kinds of information are necessary to include. (Incorrect. This answer addresses the how of documenting sources, but the question asked you to identify the why or purpose of listing references/documenting sources. One of the main purposes of documenting sources or listing references is to enable or assist readers in locating or retrieving and using your sources of information (APA, p. 180; MLA 126). MLA also says we need to give credit to others for the ideas we have borrowed from them.)

Q: When there is no author given, or the author is unknown, both MLA and APA guidelines are essentially the same. How should a reference be documented when we do not know the author or authors?
- Place the date at the beginning of the reference. (No, in both MLA and APA the title should be moved or placed at the beginning while alphabetizing by the first significant word, meaning that articles of speech should be ignored.)
- The title should be moved or placed at the beginning while alphabetizing by the first significant word, ignoring words like the, a, an. (in both MLA and APA the title should be moved or placed at the beginning while alphabetizing by the first significant word, meaning that articles of speech should be ignored.)
- If no author is given, add the word "Anonymous" in the place where the author's name should be. (No. In both MLA and APA the title should be moved or placed at the beginning while alphabetizing by the first significant word, meaning that articles of speech should be ignored. Only when a source actually says the author is "Anonymous," should that be given as the author's name.)
- If no author is given, then you should not use or cite that particular source, since the accuracy of the information is questionable. (It may be true that the accuracy of the information in a source with no given author is questionable, but MLA and APA say that the title should be moved or placed at the beginning while alphabetizing by the first significant word, meaning that articles of speech should be ignored.)
A: The title should be moved or placed at the beginning while alphabetizing by the first significant word, ignoring words like the, a, an.
