APA Style<\/a> doesn\u2019t provide a special format for citing government documents. Instead, you should determine what kind of source you\u2019re dealing with\u2014usually a report or a web page\u2014and use the appropriate format.<\/p>\n To cite a government web page that doesn\u2019t list an individual author<\/a>, use the following format, listing the name of the government organization in the author position<\/a>. If the name listed in the author position is the same as the website name (as in the example here), only list it once.<\/p>\n
