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?
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...
thank you anyways :) i'm going to source UNESCO until I figure it out! Or until someone else does for me and posts it haha
no problem
Go to http://citationmachine.net/index2.php Plug in all the information you have, and it will generate a citation for you.
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.
It should give you everything.
