EXAMPLES
A Government Document or Publication
Usually, documents and publications are written by staff, and the author/preparer will not be listed. If this is the case, begin the entry with the name of the government(IE: Country Name if it is a national government document; City Name if it is a local government document), followed by the name of the agency. If the author/preparer is known, list it first if it appears before or more prominently than the government department. If the department name is more prominent, then, after the title of the document, type "By" and the author's name. When citing the US Constitution or US Code, only an in-text citation is required.
