Citing Sources in a Visual Presentation

Include a citation for any content, quotes, or ideas from another source. The citation should be located either next to the information or below it.
To format your citation, use the in-text citation guidelines that are required by your professor or are used most commonly in the field you are presenting in.
The font size for your citations can be smaller than the other fonts on the slide, but should be legible to the audience.
Include a list of sources with full citation information at the end of your presentation.

These guidelines are from Bryant University Best Practices for Citing Sources in Presentations.
