Well i am currently writing a pharmacy paper for my history of pharmacy class and need a little help with the citations. The teacher says that the sources need to be from magazines/books and not online. although, he says that if they are found online, you can cite them as a magazine(for example most magazines have past magazine articles online).
My question is how would i do in text citations in is MLA and ALA with/without an author? The reason i ask is because a lot of the aritcles i found did't state who the authors were.
Thanks in advance,
Logan

Well thanks to all who answered. The reason for the APA/MLA is because the teacher didn't specify which style to use.

Hi there! I think you are referring to APA, not ALA. You have to find out which style your teacher requires as there are some very distinct differences in APA and MLA.
Either way you can go to http://www.citationmachine.net and choose the appropriate style on the lft hand side of the screen. Then, you choose the kind of material/source you wish to cite. Finally, it will direct you fill in some blanks with info from your source and then voila! It will put all your info into the appropriate format. You copy and then paste into your references.
Good Luck!

this website does it all for you
http://www.calvin.edu/library/knightcite/
when you want to put an in text citation you just put the name of the author and the page number in parenthesis,like this (Smith 21), if there is no author, you put the first word of the citation, like (Knight 34) if the name or whatever starts with Knight, etc., you just put that next to whatever you are citing in text

In pharmacy, you use AMA citation style.
