Quotation is a phrase or short piece of writing taken from a longer work of literature, poetry, etc. or what someone else has said.

What is a Quotation?

1. To avoid plagiarism.2. Support specific facts or claims which you

make in your text.

Why Quotation need?

1. Direct QuotationCopy another person’s exact words (spoken or written) and enclose them in quotation mark.

2. Indirect QuotationReport the person’s words without quotation marks, but with reporting expression such as According to xyz.... or xyz believes that...

Kind of Quotation

1.Put quotation marks around information that you copy word for word from a source. Do not use quotation marks with paraphrases, summaries, or indirect quotations.

2.Normally, place commas (and periods) before the first mark and also before the second mark in a pair of quotation marks.There are two important exceptions:• If you insert only a few quoted words into your own

sentence, don't use commas.Example : Charles Yesalis believes that "a large percentage" of athletes who have set new records have done so with the help of performance-enhancing drugs (qtd. in Herper, par. 6 ).

• When you add an in-text citation after a quotation, put the period after the closing parenthesis mark.

Example : The Institute of Global Ethics warns, "The Olympics could well become just another money-drenched media promotion in which contestants will be motivated less by athletic glory than by lucrative future contracts” (Kidder, par. 7).

How to make quotation?

3. Capitalize the first word of the quotation as well as the first word of the sentence.

Dr. Donald Catlin, director of a drug-testing lab eat UCLA, stated, "The sophisticated athlete who wants to take drugs has switched to things we can't test for" (qtd. in Bamberger and Yaeger 62).

4. If you break a quoted sentence into two parts, enclose both parts in quotation marks and separate the parts with commas. Capitalize only the first word of the sentence.Example : "The sophisticated athlete who wants to take drugs," stated Dr. Donald Catlin, director of a drug-testing lab at UCLA, "has switched to things we can't test for" (qtd. in Bamberger and Yaeger 62).

5. If you omit words, use an ellipsis (three spaced periods).According to a 1997 article in Sports Illustrated, "The use of steroids has spread to almost every sport, from major league baseball to college basketball to high school football" (Bamberger and Yaeger 62).6. If you add words, put square brackets around the words you

have added.One athlete declared, "The testers know that the [drug] gurus are smarter than they are" (qtd. in Bamberger and Yaeger 62).

7. Use single quotation marks to enclose a quotation within a quotation.

A young athlete openly admitted, "My ethical inner voice tells me, 'Don't use drugs,' but my competitive inner voice says, 'You can't win if you don't‘” (Jones).

8. If your quotation is four lines or longer, do not use quotation marks.Introduce this type of quotation with a colon and indent it one inch from the left-hand margin.Example :A national news agency reported these shocking survey results:

Several years ago [when] 198 athletes were asked if they would take a performance-enhancing drug if they knew they would NOT be caught and they would win, 195 said they would take the drug. The second question revealed a more frightening scenario. The athletes were asked if they would take a drug that would ensure they would win every competition for five years and wouldn't get caught, but the side effects would kill them-more than HALF said they would take the drug ("2000 Olympics," par. 12).

1. Omit the quotation marks.2. Add the subordinator that. (You may omit

that if the meaning is clear without it.)3. Change the verb tense if necessary. Follow

the sequence of tenses rules.4. Change pronouns (and time expressions if

necessary) to keep the sense of the original.

How to Change Direct Quotation to Indirect Quotation?

Referencing is a system used in the academic community to indicate where ideas, theories, quotes, facts and any other evidence and information used to undertake an assignment, can be found.

Reference need for all images, tables, illustrations and graphs taken from printed or internet sources, as well as blogs, e-mails, wikis, conversations, TV and radio broadcasts, plus all statements, opinions, conclusions, etc. taken from another writer’s work, whether the work is directly quoted, paraphrased or summarised.

What is Referencing?

1. To avoid plagiarism, a form of academic theft.2. Referencing your work correctly ensures that you

give appropriate credit to the sources and authors that you have used to complete your assignment.

3. Referencing the sources that you have used for your assignment demonstrates that you have undertaken wide-ranging research in order to create your work.

4. Referencing your work enables the reader to consult for themselves the same materials that you used.
