In this context, a category of citation in an academic paper. Personal communication includes: private letters, memos, some electronic communication (i.e. email or messages from nonarchived discussion groups), personal interviews, telephone conversations, etc.

See any university citation guide e.g.

@contrex,
BAsically, Its any relevant communication that the person cited has offered you PERSONALLY, that is not in other published literature. The citation should include the year,
, and it immediately follows the citation itself..
