Where the section heading is unmanageable to cite in full, use a shortened version enclosed in quotation marks.
For example: use ("Mandatory Labeling," para. 4) for the heading Mandatory labeling has targeted information gaps and social objectives.

The format needed to cite an article that is in press depends on the publication stage of the article: The three stages are: Manuscript, In-Press and Advanced Online Publication
Manuscript
A manuscript is an article which has been submitted for publication but not accepted for inclusion in a journal. In which case use the year the manuscript was written as your date. Do not provide the name of the journal or publisher to which the manuscript was submitted.
Green, R. (2008). Surviving meetings. Manuscript
In-Press
If an article has been accepted for publication but not yet made available by the publisher this counts as an unofficial copy and you would need to cite this article using 'in press' instead of a year
Green, R. (in press). Surviving meetings. British Educational Research Journal
Advance Online Publications
Some articles which have not yet been assigned to an issue are made available as advance online publications, in which case provide the author(s), year of posting, title of the article, name of the journal, the notation Advance online publication, and the DOI or the URL of the journal’s home page.
