PRACTICE ACTIVITIES QUOTATIONS AND REFERENCING Direct quotations and references to authors’ writings are often included in research reports, dissertations and the- ses. They are included to show that you have read around the subject and are aware of what has been written about it. Their purpose is also to demonstrate support for your own ideas, points of view and findings, and perhaps to show ex- amples or evidence. Quotations should not be overused: your own writing is more important. However, when you do include quota- tions they should be acknowledged with the correct reference conventions and listed at the end of your writing. It is important to acknowledge the source of the quotations otherwise you may be accused of plagiarism. Quotations When referring to a book or article, the normal procedure is to give the author’s surname, the year of publication in brackets, and the page numbers if necessary. The full reference is then given at the end of the text. There are two basic ways of using quotations. 1. Quotations marks (inverted commas) are put around the author’s actual words, which are then incorporated in the text: this is often used for short quotations, e.g. Academic writers need to be cautious in their claims. In this respect, vague language is important as ‘it allows claims to be made with due caution, modesty, and humility’ (Hyland, 1994 : 241) 2. The quotation is indented (it may be in a different type size or style; the quotation marks are usually omitted): this is normally used for longer quotations (three or more lines), e.g. Jordan (1977 : 240) also draws attention to the necessity for being careful: A feature of academic writing is the need to be cautious in one’s claims and statements. In other words, you may indicate your certainty and commitment in varying degrees. жүктеу/скачать 0.69 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
