[Tex/LaTex] Citations in beamer presentations

beamerciting

I find that the majority of presenters use, in their presentations, a citation like [author1-author2 'last two digits of the year] as in here. So, I wonder if they just write this manually?, and what is the best seize to use?

This was supposed to be a comment but was to long. So it is not really an answer:

In my opinion you wouldn't need any citations in your presentation if you wouldn't have too much text on your slide.

  1. A presentation should only support your talk, so you could let your audience hear the quote instead of letting them read it.
  2. If the quote has to be on your slide: don't interrupt your talk (the flow of important information) just to point at the citation? And avoid the audience is reading your credits rather than listening to you.

I think there is no need to "present" credits. If you must: put it on the last slide after the obligatory "Thank you" slide.

Or: instead of presenting your credits put it in the handout where people would take notice of it after they consumed the topic. In the handout you could handle the citations just as usual (in an article or so).
