Inline citation

Inline citation is a method used in writing to indicate the source of specific information or ideas directly within the text. It typically appears in parentheses immediately after the relevant sentence or phrase, including details like the author's name, publication year, and sometimes page number. This allows readers to quickly identify where the information comes from without disrupting the flow of reading. Inline citations help give proper credit to original authors and support the credibility of the writer's work, making it clear which parts are sourced from other research or publications.
