The same placement options apply to citations given parenthetically with eitherbibliography-style (16.4.3) or reference list–style citations (see 18.3.1), with one criticaldifference: if a period or comma would normally precede the closing quotation mark, place itoutside the quotation, following the closing parenthesis.The authors seek to understand “how people categorize the objects they encounter in everydaysituations” (Bowker and Star 1999, 59).To determine “how people categorize the objects they encounter in everyday situations” (Bowker and Star1999, 59), the authors devised a study.Understanding “how people categorize the objects they encounter in everyday situations” is the key forBowker and Star (1999, 59).SPECIAL PUNCTUATION. For a quotation within a quotation, use single quotation marks forthe inner set of quoted words.Rothko, argues Ball, “wanted to make works that wrought a transcendent effect, that dealt with spiritualconcerns: ‘Paintings must be like miracles,’ he once said.”If you run two or more lines of poetry into your text, separate them with a slash (/), with aspace before and after it. In most cases, however, use block quotations for poetry.They reduce life to a simple proposition, “All things have rest, and ripen toward the grave; / In silence, ripen,fall, and cease.”25.2.2 Block QuotationsPROSE. Present a prose quotation of five or more lines as a block quotation. Introduce thequotation in your own words in the text; see 7.5. If you introduce the quotation with acomplete sentence, end the sentence with a colon. If you use only an attribution phrase suchas notes, claims, argues, or according to along with the author's name, end the phrase with acomma. If you weave the quotation into the syntax of your sentence, do not use anypunctuation before the quotation if no punctuation would ordinarily appear there (see thesecond example below).Single-space a block quotation, and leave a blank line before and after it. Do not addquotation marks at the beginning or end, but preserve any quotation marks in the original.Indent the entire quotation as far as you indent the first line of a paragraph. (In literary studiesand other fields concerned with close analysis of texts, you should indent the first line of ablock quotation further than the rest of the quotation if the text is indented in the original; seealso 25.3.) For other punctuation and capitalization within the quotation, see 25.3.1.Jackson begins by evoking the importance of home:Housing is an outward expression of the inner human nature; no society can be fully understood apartfrom the residences of its members. A nineteenth-century melody declares, “There's no place like home,”and even though she had Emerald City at her feet, Dorothy could think of no place she would rather bethan at home in Kansas. Our homes are our havens from the world. 1In the rest of his introduction, he discusses . . .www.itpub.net
