Appendix

Topic: IV.2 Quoting and citing

The following example illustrates quoting using a full citation in a footnote. Since all relevant information is listed in the full citation, it is not necessary to create a list of references, but is recommended as a service for the reader. (This gives the reader an overview of all sources used.)

Note: The full citation style is generally not used in seminar papers or theses.

To compare:

• Quoting with footnote short citations
• Quoting with in-text short citations

• Text: direct quote with full citation in a footnote
  
  As Walton points out: "In a scientific discussion exclusively about laws of physics and their scientific verification, personal attacks on the character or personal convictions of the arguer have no place. However, in a political debate, questions of personal character and varacity can be highly relevant."³⁶
