Put quotations marks at the beginning and end of material you quote directly in your term paper.
Put the author's name and the page number the quoted material came from in parentheses after the quotation. Do not include "page," "pages," "p" or "pp"; just use the number. If the work cited has more than one author, organize their last names in alphabetical order, then put the page number the material came from. This approach works for citations from books, scholarly articles and online articles.
Click "Insert" in the top tool bar of your computer writing program, then select "Footnotes" if your teacher wants you to cite sources using footnotes instead of parenthetical citations. Be sure to put the footnote after the quote. A number will appear behind the quote, and the same number will appear at the bottom of the page. Beside the number at the bottom of the page, type the author's last name and the page number the material came from.
