2 years ago I just had a look in the CTR, ver 11 guidelines I have a as a .pdf.
For books with no authors they want you to replace the author with the title of the book (as is extremely common) and is how this style is implemented. For journal articles, they do not explain what to do with a journal article without an author. It also strikes me really odd to completely mix up the order. Can you take a screenshot from the guidelines where you're pulling this information from?

Hello,
I've been advised by Ex Libris to raise this issue here directly.
The issue is with Harvard 'Cite them right':
It was noted that Primo VE displays the following ‘Cite them Right Harvard’ citation for a journal article with no author:
‘Call for revisions to Computer Misuse Act’ (2020) Network security, 2020(7), pp. 2–3. doi:10.1016/S1353-4858(20)30073-8.
Permalink for this example: https://open-psb.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/44OPN_INST/j6vapu/cdi_pubmedcentral_primary_oai_pubmedcentral_nih_gov_7380920
Where a journal has no author, the order of elements would be ‘title of journal, year of publication, title of article, issue info, page ref, and available URL’ as so, such as:
Network security (2020) ‘Call for revisions to Computer Misuse Act’, 2020(7), pp. 2–3. doi:10.1016/S1353-4858(20)30073-8.
It appears that Primo VE is simply omitting the author from the beginning of the ‘Cite them right’ citation style instead of reordering the elements as per the Cite them Right guidance which states that the citation should begin with the title of the journal where no author name is present:
To confirm:
Cite them Right Journal article with author: Author(s) (Published Year) ‘Title of Article’, Title of Journal, Volume number (issue number), Page numbers of whole article
Cite them Right Journal article without author: Title of Journal, Year of publication, Title of article, Volume/issue, page reference
Can you please help?
Many thanks Nicolle
