However, most citations will include some combination of these elements:
1. Author: Who created the work? This might be an individual, a group, or an organization.
2. Title: The name of the specific work being cited (book, article, website, etc.)
3. Publication information: Where and when the work was published. This could include the publisher, date, volume/issue number, and/or URL.
4. Retrieval information: If relevant, this may include how you accessed the work, such as a specific database or website.
The specific elements included in a citation will vary depending on the citation style (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.) and the type of source you are citing.
For example, a basic APA citation for a journal article might look like this:
Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Year). Title of article. *Journal Title*, *Volume Number*, *Issue Number*, Page range.
This example includes the author(s), title, journal title, publication year, volume and issue number, and page range.
To give you the best possible answer, please tell me:
* What type of source are you citing? (e.g., book, journal article, website, film, etc.)
* What citation style are you using? (e.g., MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.)
With that information, I can give you a more specific and accurate answer.
