1. Quotations: Acknowledge sources by listing authors name, publication date and page number.
Quotation 1: For quotations shorter than 40 words, leave in the body of the text and place quoted text within quotation marks.

Quotation 2: For quotations longer than 40 words, indent 0.5 cm left and right, but do not use quotation marks.
For example:
Buber (1970) stated that:
The Thou meets me. But I step into direct relation with it. Hence the relation means being chosen and choosing, suffering and action in one; just as any action of the whole being, which means the suspension of all partial actions and consequently of all sensations of actions grounded only in their particular limitation, is bound to resemble suffering.
