Citations and Bibliography
Two places to cite the references you have used:
within a sentence (in-text citation)
at the end of the document
(footnotes/bibliography/references)
In-text Citation
Herring and Paolillo (2006) found that the genre of a web entry—
rather than the gender of the writer—affects the style of writing.
Bibliography/Reference

weblogs. Journal of Sociolinguistics, 10(4), 439-459.
