Quoting sources is extremely important in any type of analysis, paper, or even QRG. In order to be able to present information, sometimes it is necessary to use the exact wording of the author that presented the knowledge. This is done by using quotation marks, and following the style guide of the field one is writing within. For instance, I am using AMA formatting, and thus, the in text citations follow the guide. After each quote there is a superscript that corresponds to the source it came from, and each time that source is mentioned, the same number is used. Below is an example in paragraph form of how to use in text citations/quotations in AMA format.
