DD: It depends on the publication you intend to use. Differs by 
discipline, and within the discipline depending on the 
publication  vehicle. Differs within Universities, too, as well as 
between colleges and Departments within the colleges. In general 
provide author, date of cite, title of source, ISBN if Book, page 
number, column number if more than 1. In other words,enough 
information as is deemed necessary for the reader to easily find the 
source and check up on the author. [GOTCHA!] Most newspapers have 
style books that specify what they want. It is a mixed bag out there, 
Toto. ["I don't think this is Kansas."] Some do the notation that 
there is a footnote by the use of super scrip numbers. Others use *, 
**. *** ad infinitum. Some put the actual citation as soon as the 
mention the author occurs {Deacon  says (Deacon, 1945 a.)} or at the 
end of the chapter, and others at the end of the article, or book.
