Indirect quotation: paraphrasing of the information but keeping the

same idea. It has to be documented and the year and author must
be mentioned as well.

Direct quotation: if the quotation is more than 40 words, then we

should write it in a separate block and we shouldn’t use quotation
marks. However if the quotation is less than 40 words, then we
should include it within the text and use quotation marks.
