Information on the location of quoted material within the work cited is critical to a proper
citation. In some instances, this information needs to include the first page cited, in others, the
section, chapter, or other subdivision of the source containing the relevant material.
Examples
Inclusive pages, article in a journal
For articles published in journals, enter the inclusive pages (starting and ending pages), with
all digits (181-188). Inclusive pages are required for
most publishing styles (other than specifically legal styles). Citation will present the page(s) properly
for the publising style selected when the citation is formatted.
Inclusive pages, essay in collection or anthology
For essays and other short works published in bound collections (sometimes called anthologies or festschrift),
enter the inclusive pages (starting and ending pages), including all digits (181-188). Inclusive pages are required for
most publishing styles (other than specifically legal styles). Citation will present the page(s) properly
for the publishing style selected when the citation is formatted.
Numbered chapter in a book
If you are citing an entire chapter within a larger work, you may elect to identify the location of the
material with a chapter number (though, usually, this is not required). When the source work is a book,
enter the chapter identifier, along
with the "ch." tag, in the Pages field.
Note that if you are citing a number of chapters from the same source work, the chapter identifier can be included as a pinpoint reference, in the Access key, in your word processing document,
Section cited, book
There are a number of different types of source works that are divided into subsections.
When you are citing a subsection of a work, use the form for that particular type of work.
Unless the field on the form (this is the case only for specifically legal source works)
specifically indicates "section," you must include the section
symbol in the record.
If you are citing a section of a book, for instance, you will need to include the section symbol in the field. To enter the section symbol in a field in Citation, choose Edit, Insert Special, Typographical characters, and select the section symbol. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+@, and then S.
Note that if you are citing a number of sections from the same source work, the section identifier should be included as a pinpoint reference, in the Access key, in your word processing document,
