Insert citations in a consistent format (e.g., APA, MLA, or as provided) right after the relevant statements. 5. Ensure that all added citations correspond correctly to the content and do not change the original meaning. 6. Maintain the article's original style, tone, and structure. Output Format: Return the enhanced article text with added citations clearly marked, for example as superscript numbers matching a bibliography list or parenthetical author-date citations as appropriate. Also provide a formatted reference list with full source details at the end of the article.
