How to quote properly?

This module contains another portion of practical information and playful exercises - this time it is about bibliographic quotation. During your studies, you will probably have to write seminar papers, scientific texts or diploma (Bachelor’s) theses. These texts have to include lists of bibliography, references to quotations, quotations from books, paraphrases of more accomplished authors.

Have you ever heard that the principles of quoting and referring are established by an internationally valid norm?

 

Module objective:

• to formulate, in your own words, the difference between quotation and reference in a scientific text

• to explain the differences between reference methods

• to illustrate correct quoting on concrete documents
