How do a cite a quote from a expert that was printed in a article?

should i just list the expert's name in the works cited, or also the article that I got it from. What should I write in the in-text citation?

1. In depends on what format you are using. Try checking out an MLA style guide.
2. write his/her name or website below the quote.
3. It depends on what method your teachers want. I use the Harvard method... it's complicated, but here's some documentation about how to do it if that's any help. This was from my university's website - it might be different at yours. http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/StudentServices/69049.htm Aaah right! For the in-text citation (Again, this is all using HArvard, so don't take it as gospel) say any one of the following: +Waterfrod /mentions that(or any other similar phrase) "blafdjklhsakdh" (year: page number) +"fsaklfjreapiogtjiorejgstrdnuk" (Waterfrod, year: page number) +According to Waterfrod, "fdreaohgksreghsrdkghrek" (year: page number) +"sdgjdghsfduighgrdkjh", according to Waterfrod
4. in the text name the expert and source like In The Times on Tuesday the 4th, Meteorologist Mr Joe Bloggs said, " we will see it raining frogs more often in the future" But at the end of your report or essay, List all sources, even as a list
5. On the paper it's-self, type the last name of the expert and the page number of the article you got the information from. For example: (Lee 12). Also, put that citation at the end of the information (end of the sentence or quote) or end of paragraph. On the works cited page, I suggest going to easybib.com to get the exact citation. It's easy enough to figure out, as long as you know where you got the information from. If you got the information from a website or online database, go to that website while you are filling in the required fields. If it's a print source, make sure you have the article handy. Also, this is just an extra...if you are citing more than one source on your Works Cited page, make sure they're in alphabetical order. That's usually nice, to make it neat-looking.
