I am referencing a short quotation in my assignment from a web page. A quotation from a book requires the page number in brackets after the quote, so what do I do in this case where my quotation is from a page from a website? If it help, I am quoting from UNESCO under one of their conventions.

is this at college level?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

for example, what I am trying to accomplish is: ""According to Jones (1998), "Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time" (p. 199)."". But my quote is taken from this webpage http://whc.unesco.org/en/conventiontext. So what would I insert in brackets instead of (p.199). would it be (conventiontext)? Thank you in advance!

very tricky question, I simply don´t know, sorry...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is a great link, I will certainly use it! I am just not certain that it is what I need to properly source my quotation in my paper.
