Many different citation styles have been developed for the specific needs of readers. Proper citation allows a reader to locate the source of any non-original idea, whether it's a quote or a paraphrase. It can even help the reader determine the reliability of a source, although that's incidental; if an author has reason to doubt the utility of one of his sources, he should mention that in the text, a note, or a bibliographic annotation. For simplicity and accessibility, I've decided to use Kate L. Turabian's ''A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations'' (6th ed.). It is a small, but thorough, guide for scholarly writing based on the Chicago Manual of Style.

<blockquote>The most striking image is probably that of Balok's puppet under Solow's Executive in Charge of Production credit. The close-up was chosen by Justman, who reported that Solow "thanked [him] profusely" (Solow and Justman 1996, 194-195).<br/>
