Some disciplines require that the reference to a particular source be placed in the text itself rather than on a separate page. When the source of information is important to the reading of the text, such as scientific and technical writing, this is the preferred form. This is done by placing the last name of the author, the copyright date of the source, and the page number(s) inside a parenthesis at the end of source material used.
It would look like this in your text: In his book on
gastroenterology, Bubba Smith retorts, "It requires a special kind of
person to look at things the way I do." (Smith 1993, 103). The key
elements are author, year published, and page number.
