In most cases in every copyright protected work a fair use of the work is allowed without taking permission from the author or publisher. The use of long quotations in your work may need permission from the author or the owner of the work. The reference list should provide a full citation of the source including all the publication information as well.
The in-text citation may include the author last name, year of publication, and page number. The citation of a quotation is done in the similar manner as the citation of paraphrasing. When there are more than one paragraphs to quote you can write the first paragraph half inch indented from the left, the first line of the second paragraph can be indented 1/4 inch more to show that it is a new paragraph. A long quote that is written separately as a block does not need a quotation mark. On the other hand a long quotation should appear separately as a block that is indented from left. A short quote can appear within your own text but only separated by single or double quotation marks.
Check the actual source for each quotation to make sure there is not any mistake in copying the source.īoth in MLA and APA citations you should write a small quote that is less than 4 sentences long with in quotation marks.
The quotation should be accurate and it should follow the wording, grammar, and punctuation of the actual writing.
