What type of citation would be used to cite sources in a textbook?

I'm proofreading my dad's chapter that he's writing for a textbook called "Pharmacy Management" and I'm proofing the citations at the end. Apparently he has no idea what style of citation they're supposed to use and neither do I since all I know and use is MLA style. What style would be used in this situation?What type of citation would be used to cite sources in a textbook?
Scientific citation is ALA for Social Work. ... KK found this In scientific writing, we don't cite references by using footnotes. Instead, citations including author's last name and year are inserted directly into the text, like this (Kusnick, 1997). If there is more than one author, the citation might look like this (Kusnick and Waterstraat, 1996) or like this (Kusnick and others, 1995). If you use a reference more than once, you just insert the citation again (Kusnick, 1997). If you reference several authors in the same sentence, you can list them alphabetically within the same citation (Kusnick, 1997; Waterstraat, 1996). If an author has more than one citation in a single year, label them a, b,c, etc. after the year (Kusnick, 1997a). If you use someone else's stuff for a whole paragraph, cite them once in the first sentence and again at the end of the paragraph. If you include a direct quote, put it in quotes and include the page number in the citation (Kusnick, 1997a, p. 37). Be sure to insert a citation anytime you reference factual material or someone else's opinion. It is better to have too many citations than too few (which can be plagiarism).



Too bad you can't use MLA I %26lt;3 it : DWhat type of citation would be used to cite sources in a textbook?
You could use APA or MLA. Either is fine. I'm not sure of a good site for APA, but if you use MLA I would go to http://www.weswave.com/reference.phpWhat type of citation would be used to cite sources in a textbook?
