Great question. Let’s say the source is called “10 Tips for Making Your Morning Coffee Taste Like a Hug from a Barista.” That’s a mouthful. In your citation, you’d shorten it to (“10 Tips” 8). Just make sure it’s enough words so your reader could find the full title in your Works Cited page. It’s like giving a text preview, not the whole novel.
If the source is from a website with no page numbers, no sweat. You can just put the shortened title in parentheses—no page number needed. For example: (“10 Tips”). If you mention the title in your sentence, you don’t even need the parentheses. Just say, “According to the article ‘10 Tips,’ coffee is life.” Easy peasy.
