Corporate Authors for Web Sites
A corporate author may be a government agency, an institution, an association, or other organization.
Example 1:
If an organization is the author and publisher, begin the citation with the title of the work and list the organization only as the publisher.

If the title of the web site is the same as the name of the publisher, there is no need to include additional publisher information.
