I know, super fun topic.
I've never cited a position paper before, and I'm writing a review on one from the American Dietetic Association (again, super fun). I don't have my APA manual handy, and not having much luck with google. Anyone happen to know how to do this?
fyi, no specified author, and it's retrieved online.
Thanks.

Thanks, that really doesn't help at all.
Not to be a flaming ***, but I'm writing a review of a professional organization's position paper. Do you not think I'm smart enough to check wikipedia before I bother people on a video game forum? Seriously, this is pretty much a last resort before I go dig up my manual.

MLA for the win.
Nah it's ok, but I couldn't tell if you were legitimately trying to be helpful or being a condescending ***.
I couldn't get my manual because I was at work. Oh well, I got it now.

Apa isn't bad as Chicago style anyways. Or the style (whatever that name was) for physiological journals.

American Psychological Association (APA)
I am not sure, since all I have ever used is MLA.

Mmmm flaming ***...
sounds hawt
The fact that they publish a manual to explain how to do it is pretty indicative of how counterintuitive it can be -_-
I have about 4 manuals as I use APA everyday so too bad I wasn't around that day to answer your question as I certainly could have done so without a manual. 
And just FYI: APA typically frowns on online, no author documents as APA is the professional standard for citing and that typically means it comes from a reputable source which the internet is not.

The position paper was from the American Dietetic Association's homepage (very reputable). It's just a pdf version of their published version, which is infinitely harder to obtain and is exactly the same.
But anyway, you're probably a lot more knowledgeable and I'm still not entirely sure after consulting my manual (no one will probably notice or say anything but would be nice), so maybe you could go ahead and share?
Here's the link:
http://www.eatright.org/cps/rde/xchg/ada/hs.xsl/advocacy_516_ENU_HTML.htm
It's alphabetical, titled Health Implications of Dietary Fiber.
I'm is muchly thankyouful fer it.

They only do MLA and APA (and yeah, Chicago is balls. Philosophy journals use that) but I normally use MLA on regular papers, since that was the style I learned in highschool.
That thing will do your citation for you if you just provide the blank information.
