There is a very good chance that the database article the student discovered and turned in for the previous assignment had quotes within it from other sources. Researchers quote other people. We as researchers have two choices if we want to use that person’s statement or data. We can find the original source, or we can document an indirect quote.

The indirect quotation process is described on OWL @ Purdue under the “MLA In-Text Citations – The Basics” page under the subheading “Citing Indirect Sources.”

For this assignment –

1. Go back to the database article submitted for the last assignment, or find another database article (you need five total for the final submission).

2. Identify a quote, image, or data in the article that is not original to the author of that article, but that is useful to your line of inquiry.

3. Use the information on “MLA In-Text Citations – The Basics” to help you create a correct in-text citation.

4. Include the correctly formatted in-text citation on the research journal you are drafting underneath its works cited entry.

5. Cut and paste it into the text box that appears here when you click the “submit assignment” button.

I will provide feedback on the example of citation you provide me. There will not be peer review with this exercise.
