Publisher,
The publisher is the entity primarily responsible for producing the work or making it available to the public.
The Publisher element may include the following:
When you give publishers' names in the list of works cited, include the word, Publishing or Publishers (e.g., Workman Publishing) or Pictures (e.g., Dream-Works Pictures) if it appears, but omit words denoting the type of legal corporate entry the publisher is, like Company (Co.), Corporation (Corp.), Incorporated (Inc.), and Limited (Ltd.). Also omit initial articles (The).
If the name of an academic press contains the words University and Press or a foreign language equivalent, use the abbreviation UP or the equivalent in the publisher's name. If University and Press are separated by other words, replace them with U and P (e.g., U of Chicago P).
A publisher's name can be omitted for the following types of publications either because it is not necessary to give the publisher's name or because there is no publisher.

Websites
Websites are published by individuals and various kinds of organizations, including media companies, corporations, governments, museums, libraries, and universities and their departments. The publisher's name can often be found in a copyright notice at the bottom of the home page or on a page that gives information about the site.

Audio and Visual Media
Publication information for films and television series can usually be found on a screen credit near the beginning or end of a work or on a landing page or navigation menu on the website or streaming service airing the work. Film and television shows are often produced and distributed by several companies performing different tasks. When documenting a work in film or television, you should generally cite the production company that made the show or the network that broadcast it.

Multiple Publishers
If two ore more independent organizations are named in the source and they seem equally responsible for the work, include each of then in the Publisher element, separating the names with a forward slash (/). But if you know that one of the organizations had primary responsibility for the work, list it alone.
