To do citations on pages, first, identify the citation style you're required to use (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago). Once determined, reference the specific style guide for detailed instructions. For in-page citations, typically include the author's last name and publication year in parentheses for APA, or author's last name and page number for MLA, immediately following the quoted or paraphrased material. Use tools like Zotero or EndNote to manage and format your citations automatically. Additionally, most word processors have built-in reference functions that help format bibliographies and in-text citations correctly.
