What types of quotations are there?

Citing correctly 4

What comes as a surprise to many is that even summarised text counts as a quotation and needs to be referenced!

Even when directly quoting, there can still be stumbling blocks - what about spelling mistakes in the original source, for example, and what do you do when some sections aren't relevant?

Over the next few weeks, we’ll present a video series from the Saxon State and University Library (SLUB) on the topic of citation. If you want to skip ahead, you can find the playlist containing all of the sections here.

The handout referred to in the videos can be found in German here.
