Or pages (pp.) Where the information appears in the source consulted. Example: [Vázquez & Ortiz, 2018, p. 139], [Guzmán 2019, pp. 209-210].
2. Paragraphs, where a source's information is paraphrased, do not include a page number. Example: "As González-Moreno (2018) points out, communication is very important ..." or "Some authors have studied dance (De las Heras, 2018)".

9. The descriptor titles (Sources and Notes) are in italics.
