Explain
- When a Web source lacks stable numbered pages, you may include paragraph numbers or headings to help readers locate the passage being cited.
- If the source has numbered paragraphs, use the paragraph number preceded by the abbreviation “para.”: (Hall, 2012, para. 5).
- If the source has no numbered paragraphs but contains headings, cite the appropriate heading in parentheses; you may also indicate which paragraph under the heading you are referring to, even if the paragraphs are not numbered (as in the example).
- For PDF documents that have stable page numbers, give the page number in the parenthetical citation.
