The borrowed words (the quote) in quotation marks
The citation in parentheses: the author’s last name or the source title, followed by the page or paragraph number

As the author indicates, “the Aztecs used cacao seeds in their religious ceremonies, offering the seeds as a sacrifice to the gods” (Smith 23).
Example 3: Using a source with no author or title listed (for example, a website’s homepage)
Studies have found that “dark chocolate reduces cholesterol in 53% of adults” (scientificamerican.com).
