Corporate author
A corporate author is a company, organization, or other entity that is responsible for creating a work. Corporate authors may be involved in the creation of a wide range of works, including books, articles, reports, and other types of written materials.
When citing a work by a corporate author, the name of the corporate author should be included in the citation in place of the personal author’s name. The corporate author may be listed as the author, or it may be listed as the publisher, depending on the specific citation style being used. For example, in APA style, the corporate author would be listed as the author, while in MLA style, the corporate author would be listed as the publisher.
It is important to properly identify the corporate author of a work in order to give proper credit to the entity responsible for creating the work and to help readers locate the original source.
