Question

To cite an entry in an encyclopedia, use the _______ instead of the author name as the opening item in the citation. A. title of the encyclopedia B. medium of publication C. publisher of the encyclopedia D. title of the entry

Answer 1

D. title of the entry

Answer 2

The answer is A. title of the encyclopedia. When citing research/reference books like encyclopedias, it is usually best to write the title of the encyclopedia. This is because articles in encyclopedias generally have more than one author and the information in them has been combined from many resources. This is why it is best to just write the title of the encyclopedia instead of the name of the author.
