A guide for incorporating quotes into sentences, in-text and parenthetical citations included. When considering incorporating quotes, consider if paraphrasing or quoting adds most to your sentence, paragraph, etc. When selecting a quote, consider the "10-word rule," to get to the most valuable information from the quote (anyone can cut-and-past paragraphs), decrease in conventions errors (less unnecessary words = less opportunity for errors), and fluency. Once you've incorporated a quote into your sentence, try reading the sentence out loud, same sentence, without the quotation marks. If it's unreadable, revise how you've placed the quote in your sentence.
