Style notes for this reference type
See Handbook
For examples, see Fig’s. 2.6, 5.13, 5.15
- If an author’s online handle differs from the author’s account name (fig. 5.13), it may be helpful to supply the handle in square brackets after the name (5.16).
- When the handle and account name are similar (e.g., Angie Thomas, @angiethomas), you can usually omit the handle if you include the URL in your entry.
