Common website citation variations

How do I cite a website with no author in ASME?

When there is no author, start the ASME reference with the title, then the date. The in-text citation uses a short form of the title in place of the author name.

How do I cite a website with no date in ASME?

If no date is given, ASME uses an indication that the date is unknown in place of the year. Add the date you accessed the source where the style asks for it.

How do I cite a website with multiple authors in ASME?

List the authors in the order they appear on the source. ASME sets a point at which extra authors are shortened, so the generator applies that rule for you once you enter every name.
