Direct quotes with less than 40 words

It is the faithful reproduction of the words and punctuation of a text, transcribed between double quotation marks and indicating the author(s) and the pages of the referenced work.

Follows an example:

                According to Lévy (1999), "It also contributes to the creation of  new planes of existence. It complexifies the stratification of aesthetic spaces [emphasis added by us], practical and social. Which does not mean, however, that it does not cause disappearances" (p. 222).

If the emphasis exists in the quoted original, this information must be included: (p. 222, the author's emphasis).

OR

                According to the author, "I cannot entertain that passion of dandling and caressing infants scarcely born, having as yet neither motion of soul (. . .)" (Montaigne, 1595/1984, p. 159).

Direct quote with more than 40 words

The reproduction must appear blocked, without quotation marks, with space indentation and justified.

Examples:

Lévy (1999) affirms that:

Territorial institutions are rather hierarchical and rigid, while the practices of cybernauts tend to privilege transversal modes of relationship and the fluidity of structures. Territorial political organizations rest on representation and delegation, while the technical possibilities of cyberspace would easily make unprecedented forms of large-scale direct democracy, etc., easily practicable (p. 194).

OR

Anima and animus live in a world quite different from the outside world, in a world in which the pulse of time beats infinitely slowly, in which the birth and death of individuals count for little. No wonder his being is strange, so strange that his entrance into consciousness often means something like psychosis (Jung, 1939/2002, p. 280, para. 519).

Another example

I cannot entertain that passion of dandling and caressing infants scarcely born, having as yet neither motion of soul nor shape of body distinguishable, by which they can render themselves amiable, and have not willingly suffered them to be nursed near me. (Montaigne, 1595/1984, p. 159).

Notes

  1. Deleted sections should be identified by the use of ellipses between brackets: (. . .).

 Lévy (1999) states that:

Territorial institutions are rather hierarchical and rigid, while the practices of cybernauts tend to privilege transversal modes of relationship and the fluidity of structures. Territorial political organizations rest on representation and delegation, (. . .) while the technical possibilities of cyberspace would easily make unprecedented forms of large-scale direct democracy, etc., easily practicable (p. 194).

  1. Square brackets are used for insertions of the manuscript's author into the text of direct quotes.

Lévy (1999) asserts that: "Territorial institutions are rather hierarchical and rigid, while the practices of cybernauts [Internet user] tend to privilege transversal modes of relationship and the fluidity of structures" (p. 194). 

  1. In case of errors (grammatical, spelling, punctuation) in the text of the direct quotation, include, immediately after the error, the expression [sic] in italics, in square brackets.

Direct citations

It is the interpretation of the text of an author cited with a new wording, without losing the original meaning.

For instance:

From this, as stated by Lévy (1999), cyberspace is a promoter of democracy.

Citation of a citation

It is a reproduction, direct or indirect, of a text quoted from a secondary source. Its use should be restricted, it is always recommended to cite the primary source. The "cited by" feature should only be used for special cases, for example, when the original work is out of print.

Work by C. G. Jung must be cited (direct or indirectly) without intermediaries (“quoted by”).

In the form:

Para Lévy (1999, p. 100, quoted by Santos, 2014, p. 350)

Unknown author quote

Inform the title of the work, the year and the page.

For example:

(Anonymous, 1967)

OR use book's title:

(Interpersonal skills, 2019)'

More than one paper by the same author
