How to specify the page number of a book citation

snake · March 27, 2014

Hi, I am a new user of Zotero, and like it very much.

Recently, I met a small problem:
How can I specify the page number of a book I cited ?

See the following as an example:
(1) Reichardt, C.; Welton, T. Solvents and Solvent Effects in Organic Chemistry; John Wiley & Sons, 2011.

I need to pointed out which pape I cited. Hope I explained my problem clearly.

Many thanks,

S

no, that's not possible for numeric styles like ACS. If you really need to, you can edit this in the bibliography when you're done.

Shouldn't your reference more correctly be to the book section (the paper you are actually citing), as opposed to the entire book?

(in some of the "hard" sciences and medicince, you occasionally see invididual pages of monographs in the bibliography. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but it's certainly done).

Thanks for everybody's kind reply and help~~

I am writining a general review, so I need to set up some viewpoints which are supported by other famous researchers. So it is necessary to point out which page it is in a thick book :)

you can always note the page number after the citation in the text.
