Additional Citation Resources Need more help with citation? See the resources below.
Take Note: If a quotation is over 40 words, there are 3 options for handling it:
The best option depends on citation style and the context of the assignment. Method 1: Shorten with an ellipsis Use an ellipsis (...) to indicate words omitted from the middle of the quote. This is useful when only a specific part of a longer passage is relevant to the point. Example:
Method 2: Paraphrase Paraphrasing means putting the original author's ideas into one's own words, which can help demonstrate understanding and maintain the writing voice. To paraphrase well, understand the source, write the idea without looking at it, compare paraphrasing to the original to avoid similar wording, and remember to cite the source. Method 3: Use a block quote For lengthy quotes, especially in textual analysis, many style guides require a block quote format. This involves starting the quote on a new line, indenting the entire passage, not using quotation marks, introducing it with a complete sentence followed by a colon, and placing the citation after the final punctuation. It's important to check your specific style guide, as rules can vary between styles like APA and MLA. |
