Easy 10...PLEASE HELP!....Do you have to put quotation marks around an Internet source?

Question

In case you did not understand heres an example....

Lets say if get this from an article/doc from the intertnet and want to incorporate it onto my essay would it be like this:

1. "It was a way of life that was inevitable to change" (life changes).

or......

2.It was a way of life that was inevitable to change (life changes).

Answer 1

It depends on the documentation format you're using. MLA probably? I'm sorry that these two seem to think you don't, but if you copy ANYTHING from any kind of source without acknowledging its a quote, it's plagiarism.

Answer 2

I suppose you have got to put the quote marks. After all it is not yours but somebody else's and you are quoting him.

I do not understand your dilemma ! what is the problem ? Why you are hesitant to pu the quote marks ? Common sense tells us that you should put .

www.easybib.com

This is a great site, it will do all the work for you, all you have to do is enter the information, it will also ask you what you want to use, mla, apa and so on.

www.bibme.org is also great

Answer 4

No. You would use the Web site as your reference.

Answer 5

No there is no hard and fast rule as such. But you can include the fact that you found it from a website by mentioning it in ur essay itself.

e.g-The website 'life changes' states that It was a way of life that was inevitable to change.

so if u are mentioning the website just put it under single inverted commas and ur essay would be fine. But including the source name is very good technique as the teacher or inspector of ur essay would be impressed for the fact that you have a very proactive and practical knowledge of what you are writing about as well.

All the best and Hope this helps!!
