Lect. 3 Quoting and Citing

Quoting and Citing Sources in Academic Writing

• Two main rules for quotations: less than three lines long should be in quotes, while up to three lines in length can be incorporated into the body of the text or indented in its own paragraph if longer.
• If adding words to help make sense of a quotation, they should appear in square brackets to indicate they are not part of the original quote.
• Direct quotations are used to retain the meaning and authenticity of the original source, lend support to literary analysis, and capture language that supports the point.
• Indirect quotes use the idea or fact from an outside source and are expressed in the student's own words, requiring in-text citations but not quotation marks.
• Both direct and indirect quotes need to be cited in the text and listed in the Works Cited/References page.
• Indirect quotations are used to summarize, paraphrase, and communicate facts or statistics.
• A paraphrase and an indirect quotation are the same thing, expressing another author's information or idea in one's own words, and both must be cited.
• A citation tells readers where the information came from, while a reference provides details about the source for readers to find it themselves.
• Citation systems include the name-and-year system, where citations include authors' names and publication dates, and the alphabet-number system, where citations are numbered and correspond to the alphabetical listing in references.
• When quoting or referring to another source, a citation within the text and a reference in the bibliography or reference list are necessary.
• The text provides links to resources for further information, such as an article on mulberry leaves and software like Endnote and Mendeley for managing references.
• Additional resources are cited, including links to articles and documents on quotations and paraphrasing.
