Stable public scholarship
Cite the section, not a screenshot.
Every substantive manuscript section has a permanent anchor. Cite the exact page a reader can inspect, and include the source edition when reproducibility matters.
The practical rule
Author + work + chapter or section + edition + stable URL.
- 01
Quoting or discussing one idea? Cite the exact anchored section.
- 02
Discussing the framework as a whole? Cite the complete book.
- 03
Auditing a version? Add
v0.16and the source fingerprint from the edition record.

A website correction and a manuscript revision are not the same event. Use the edition record and correction log when the distinction matters.
