When quoting directly, always include the page number in the in-text citation. For some sources, such as webpages and some e-books, there are no page numbers. For direct quotations, you can use other available information to give the reader a way to find the quoted passage. For example
– Chapter title and paragraph number
– Paragraph numbers, if available
– Heading or section name
– Count the paragraphs manually
APA does not recommend including Kindle location numbers.
Example 1, chapter title and paragraph number:
(Clapton, 2023, Crossover Effects, para. 2)
Example 2, paragraph number:
(Equality and anti-discrimination act, 2017, § 4)
Example 3, heading or section name:
(Institute of Social Sciences, 2000, Cultural Aspects section)
Note: Websites and webpages usually don’t have page numbers. Instead, provide which paragraph the quoted passage is from. If you choose to provide a heading to help the reader find the quotation, use an abbreviated version if the full heading is too long. Put the short title in quotation marks.
Example: (Institute of Social Sciences, 2000, “Which Cultural Aspects” section)
If your source type (for example, article) requires page numbers in the bibliography, just leave this blank if page numbers are missing.
Some articles have article numbers or e-locators instead of page numbers. If that’s the case, use article numbers as page numbers in the reference list. Add the word “Article” and provide the article number.
Example :
PLoS ONE, 4(5), Article e5723. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0005723
