Citations Longer Than

40 Words! By: Brittany & Justine

Rules

Indent the entire quote

One tab from the left

Double Space the passage

Do not use quotation marks

Example We are know going to show you an example of a

citation that is longer then 40 words for Franks MCOM 5

class.

Brittany and Justine are excellent presenters. This is

because of the presence and glow that they have

about them. They are excellent MCOM 5 students.

(Armstrong,2010,p.3)

Why Do We Indent

When reading the paragraph the quote

gets lost in the other text.

Blah Blah Blah “This is my quote it is very

long and it is more than two lines. It is

getting longer now, and when I glance at it

I cannot tell where the quote is because of

the length.” Blah Blah Blah Blah

Why Should We Avoid Long

Quotes

Not everything in the quote is relevant

It breaks up the information in the body too

much

Therefore the paper doesn’t flow as well as

it should

You should try to paraphrase them
