Quoting from a website (no page numbers)

Quoting from a website (no page numbers)

Websites do not usually have page numbers. Use headings and paragraph numbers in place of the page number when quoting from a website.

In this example, "Center on the Developing Child" is the group author of the website, the title of the web page is "InBrief: Executive Function: Skills for Life and Learning" and the quotation is taken from the first paragraph.

In-text reference (Block quotation)

Being able to focus, hold, and work with information in mind, filter distractions, and switch gears is like having an air traffic control system at a busy airport to manage the arrivals and departures of dozens of planes on multiple runways. In the brain, this air traffic control mechanism is called executive functioning, a group of skills that helps us to focus on multiple streams of information at the same time, and revise plans as necessary. (Center on the Developing Child, InBrief: Executive Function: Skills for Life and Learning, para. 1)
