Is the following sentence correct?
On page 2, paragraph 1 the author states, “This is my quote.”
Does it need another comma after 1?
Thank you so much.

Personally I would remove the comma from after 'page 2' and put it after 'paragraph 1' instead, but it's up to you really.

Could it be : On page 2, paragraph 1, the author states, “quote.” ?
