When using citations, one generally uses both a works cited page or section--also called the bibliography, source list or list of references--in conjunction with parenthetical citations (citations which refer the reader to a particular cited work).
APA style uses parenthetical citation within the text, listing the author's name, the year the work was made, and the page that the information may be found on.
Some have questioned the authority assumed or confered by citation, considering it endlessly recursive, the authority of a work resting on its citations, the authority of which in turn rely on their citations.
