I am writing a paper in business management and had to do a live interview with someone and am not sure how to cite this or how to put it in my references. can you tell me how?

Certainly! Citing an interview in a research paper typically follows a specific format based on the citation style guide you are using. In this case, let's assume you are using the APA (American Psychological Association) style.

For in-text citation:
1. Include the name of the person you interviewed and the date of the interview within parentheses. For example: (Doe, 2021).
2. If you mentioned the interviewee's name in the sentence, you can exclude it from the parentheses. For example: According to John Doe (2021), "quote from the interview."

For the reference list:
1. Start with the last name of the interviewee, followed by a comma and their first initial.
2. Include the exact date of the interview in parentheses. For example: Doe, J. (2021, Month Day).
3. Specify the type of interview after the date (e.g., personal communication, interview).
4. If the interview was published or retrievable online, include the URL or DOI at the end.

Here's how the reference entry might look:

Doe, J. (2021, October 10). Personal communication.

If the interview was published or retrievable online, you can include additional details in the reference entry. For instance:

Doe, J. (2021, October 10). Personal communication. Retrieved from [URL]

Remember to adapt the format to the specific guidelines of the citation style you are using, as different styles may have slightly different requirements for interview citations.
