In-text citations in a presentation should be placed directly on the slide where the referenced content appears. Use a smaller font size and position the citation at the bottom or side of the slide to avoid cluttering. For example, you can write (Author, Year) or include a brief reference link. This helps your audience understand the source of your information without distracting from the main content.
