Does anyone know how to cite this in a research paper?

That's how the shape of benzene was first theorised.
Here Kekulé spoke of the creation of the theory. He said that he had discovered the ring shape of the benzene molecule after having a reverie or day-dream of a snake biting its own tail (a symbol in ancient cultures known as the ouroboros).

- Not really, a day-dream is not a delusion
MLA format would be something like this:
Maneuver, The Picard. The Delusion. Picard, 2023.
Then, in your paper, to reference it, just write "(Maneuver 2023)".
- I like IEEE format, in text citations are just square brackets with a number [1]. Trust engineers to be ~~lazy~~ efficient.

- Beautiful, lol
- You can't though, unless said delusion was previously published. You can publish delusions, e.g., in an autobiography, a novel, or even a psychology thesis.
Lmao "delusion" makes this
Pretend it's in the "supplementary information". Nobody reads it, with the exception of phd students
As a personal observation—"observation" vs "delusion" is a matter of perspective.
- The fact that your observation turned out to be a delusion is irrelevant information
Hmm. Ask a republican, this is right up their alley
- I wonder why that's so prevalent on the right.
Not a delusion but rather a dream in which August Kekulé found the chemical structure of benzene on his dream
the proper use of you're delusional.
I think you cite Emmitt Brown
