There are many ways to cite your source depending on the type or location of the info…
RULE OF THUMB: Check the bibliography citation to see what information you have listed first. This will determine how you cite your sources.
Always start with the item listed first…

…or, it could be the publication.
Cite it.
So, your paper would look like this if you have the author’s name…
