Where do you place a citation in a written paper or forum discussion?

A citation should be placed at the end of a sentence or paragraph where you have used information or ideas from a source. This allows readers to identify the source and verify the information. In a written paper, citations are usually placed in a bibliography or reference list at the end of the document. In a forum discussion, you can place a citation by including the author's name, year of publication, and page number (if applicable) in parentheses after the information you have borrowed.
