I don't have the page numbers for any of my books for my research paper and i don't want to go back to all the books so if i just make up a page # or don't put one does it matter?
If you put the wrong page number when citing a book for a research paper, do you get in trouble?
Well if you don't cite it then it's plagerism, which is illegal. I don't know...I guess I would just make up a page number.
Reply:Depending on your professor, he or she could take it very seriously. At my school, if you get caught citing things incorrectly (making up quotes/page numbers/etc.) you can get kicked out of school.
To cite something properly in MLA format, you need a page number. To cite properly in APA format, you only need the page number for quotes.
Reply:you have to put in page numbers; I doubt that your instructor will double check your citations but you never know
better safe than sorry
Reply:I doubt they will even check. There are too many students in the class.
