When citing posts on Facebook, LinkedIn and other similar sites, write your reference according to the template below. Some posts will have a group author, e.g. organization, company or authority, instead of a personal author. The group author may also have a username, in which case the username is given in brackets after the name of the group author. If a username only is available, state this name as the author.
