5 When do you need to give a reference?  Direct quotes  When you paraphrase or summarise  Source of a theory, argument, viewpoint etc. pecific information - statistics, case studies etc. Whenever you use a source of information

10 Quoting less than one line: uuse quotation marks kkeep the quotation within the text …the use of colour is “arbitrary and unreal” (Batchelor, 2000, p.52). The long-standing debates about the nature of colour are… more than one line: ddo not use quotation marks sstart the quotation on a new line and indent it After 1945 colour increasingly became the reason for painting: Colour is dangerous.
