Including page numbers are helpful for direct quotations or if referring to the same source multiple times within the text. Enclose the page numbers within brackets, along with a single ‘p’ for a single page number or two ‘p’s for multiple pages, without spaces, e.g. 1(p21) or 1(pp3,5).
For EndNote insert the citation, right-click the citation, select edit citation, then more. Add the page numbers into the suffix field, along with the brackets and either ‘p’ or ‘pp’, e.g. (p21) or (pp3,5).
A secondary citation is created when an author is cited from within another authors' work.
Finding and citing the original source is always preferable. See the section on 'secondary citations' within this guide for information on constructing secondary citations.
