Doing some research, I learnt that, when citing a work using other styles, one may be specific about which part of the work they want to reference (example).

More specifically, I am considering using citations that look like this:

[1, Para. 1]
[2, Abs.]
[3, Sec. 1]
[2, Review and Suggestions sec.]
…

Is it, in the end, bad practice?
