APA-53

The cost of treating obesity currently totals $117 billion per year—a price, according to the surgeon general, “second only to the cost of [treating] tobacco use” (Carmona, 2004).

Explain

  • Cite sources from the web as you would cite any other source, giving the author and the year when they are available.
  • Usually a page number is not available; occasionally a web source will lack an author or a date.
  • For PDF documents that have stable page numbers, give the page number in the parenthetical citation.
