"in-text citation" is a correct and commonly used term in written English.
It refers to the act of citing a source within the body of a written work, rather than in footnotes or endnotes. This is often done by including the author's last name and the page number of the source in parentheses after a quote or paraphrase. An example of using "in-text citation" in a sentence could be: "The author argues that climate change is a pressing issue (Smith, 25)." In this sentence, "Smith" is the last name of the author being cited, and "25" refers to the page number where the information can be found in the source. This allows the reader to easily locate and verify the information being referenced.
