Citation Marks
In the case of direct citations, the boundaries of a citation are apparent from the quotation marks. However, the boundaries of indirect citations are usually unknown. In order to clarify these boundaries, citation marks (˻…˼) can be used. Example:
- This is sentence 1. ˻This is sentence 2. This is sentence 3.˼ (Smith et al., 2012)
Here, it becomes apparent from the citation marks that the citation refers to both sentence 2 and 3, but not to sentence 1.
