In Harvard, what do I do if the article I am referencing doesn’t have any page numbers (e.g. if published only online)?
If a source contains no page numbers, such as a webpage or online newspaper articles, do not include a page number in the relevant reference entries. For direct quotations from a source without pagination, use the major sections, headings or chapters and paragraph (para.) numbers.
For example:
As Myers (2000, para. 5) aptly phrased it…
(Beutler, 2000, Conclusion, para. 1)
[Tip: if your resource is a journal article in html format (and therefore with no page numbers), check to see if the article is available elsewhere as a pdf. Usually, pdf documents include page numbers.]
