 Short quotations - Quotations of fewer than 40 words should be incorporated into the text and
enclosed with double quotation marks.
 Long quotations - Quotations of 40 words or more should be placed in a double-spaced block
of typewritten lines indented 5-7 spaces from the left margin. Omit the quotation marks and
the usual opening paragraph indent.
Example of long quotation:
Miele (1993) found the following:
The "placebo effect," which had been verified in previous studies,
disappeared when behaviours were studied in this manner.
Furthermore, the behaviours were never exhibited again even when
real drugs were ad-ministered. Earlier studies were clearly premature
in attributing the results to a placebo effect (p. 276).
