Welcome to this week's Blog!

This week we introduced to the plagiarizing and citation ceremony where we place ourselves at the feet of those who came before us as we attempt to contribute any notable additions in our subject of interest.

To this point, I have no problem with and, in fact, enjoy the sanctity of great thought and how it contributes toward our own discovery and compounding journey to breaking any sort of “new ground”, but I think much of the policy and procedure of making that self-evident to an intended audience is lost on me. I think that many of the literature I site doesn’t need all the redundant revisited citation in and through out my papers, but I still value the doctrine that many writers who value there own contributions hold each others too.

I think that this, along with the way things are quoted, will give us a major direction in where the point of the paper or writing will be going. Quotation is paramount in most all of what we, as writers, are needed to support our thesis or argument in any academic assignment.

The thing we can’t forget is delivery and accentuating the introduction to our citations or quotations. Our intended audiences are supposed to expect when a quotation adds to our insight or how a quotation should compliment our previous opinions. 

Please let me know how you all feel about citations, quotations and how they work into your writing.
