QUOTES

Indirect quote

The name is quoted every time the reference occurs in the text. If the quote is repeated in the same paragraph, do not include the year in subsequent references. It is advisable to include the page, to give more precision to the quote.

Example:

As indicated by Mabbett (1998, p. 5), the success of the fruit production in Chile, is associated with factors such as climate, geography and technical and business talent.

Brief direct quote

Exact portion of the text of an author that is less than 40 words (three lines, approximately). It is quoted within the text, using quotation marks.

Example:

"In the carnival of misery and squandering characteristic of late capitalism, we hear, at the same time distant and absent, the voices of Goethe and Marx which summon us for a creative and hard job, able to place the specific individual at the height of the conquests of humanity" (Zuleta, 1985, p. 13).

Extensive direct quote

It is presented in the text as a block without quotation marks. It starts on a new line, indented one centimeter on each side.

Example:

In this regard, Zuleta (1985) points out that (...) in the middle of the pessimism of our time, the historic thought continues developing as well as psychoanalysis, anthropology, marxism, art and literature. Amid the gloom of our time, arises the struggle of the proletariat who already know that a senseless work is not paid with anything, nor cars nor television sets; it arises the wonderful rebellion of the women who do not accept a situation of inferiority in exchange for praise and protection; it arises the desperate uprising of young people who cannot accept the fate that has been fabricated for them (p. 14).
