Is anyone really good at quoting from websites into a paper?
I just want to say - According the Department of Health and Human Services, CORFs must provide coordinated outpatient diagnostic, therapeutic, and restorative services, at a single fixed location, to outpatients for the rehabilitation of injured, disabled or sick individuals.
Is that okay? Do I need to add quotes?
ok i do.. i had a brain fart. I am just a bit overwhelmed with work n school.. way too much thrown at me! :( |
Is that a direct quote or are you just paraphrasing what they say? If it's the latter, no quotes are needed. If its the former, I think it'd look better if you just paraphrased it and then acknowledged in the bibliography that your research did include a website (there are rules on how to cite them)... but that's just me.
Too many websites make the research look sloppy. |

| Where would you put quotes? From the way I have always understood, you would only quote it if it was in the context of something you said. I could be mistaken though. |

You're quoting from the COR for a paper that must be a first, at least I hope it is.

what he said. if you're quoting word for word, you must use quotes. mel if you want to write the sentence in the style you posted, just paraphrase/reword it and then you don't need the quotation marks.
example (quotes)- you still need to reword the first phrase:
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, CORFs must "provide coordinated outpatient diagnostic, therapeutic, and restorative services, at a single fixed location, to outpatients for the rehabilitation of injured, disabled or sick individuals" (in-text citation depending on citation style).
example (without quotes):
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) states that CORFs are responsible for providing diagnostic, therapeutic and restorative services at a coordinated, fixed location for the rehabilitation of the sick, debilitated, or otherwise injured individuals.
i feel the original sentence has too many commas and unnatural pauses (at least when reading it) however and would probably split it up into two sentences (especially if you're trying to fill out the word count/fatten up the paper) |

Cool, cool, it's important to cite the source, no matter what, and it's just a matter of style in this case.
But, yeah, you go girl! Good luck! |

yeah it does have too many comma's but I directly quoted it from the website - mostly to show the importance of being a ' medicaid/ medicare certified facility'. so i guess a direct would better help me out |

i see where you're coming from but you don't need me to tell you that websites are notoriously bad/unprofessional/unscholarly-looking sources of info. is it a *.gov website? should be all good so long as it's cited correctly though, i suppose. i dunno how your class is with in-text citations or citation-styles, sooooo.. meh (i personally use chicago style unless explicitly asked to do otherwise)
in the end, i think either way will work and sound equally intelligent-ish (haha) but paraphrasing it will save you a lot of bull with quotation punctuation, in-text citation, and your bibliography/works cited. |

Yeah but it's not a formal paper. It's mostly a report on my field visit to a rehab facility. Nothing much to actually quote since it's my own experience.
The only thing I am quoting is that one line. It is from a govt website. It's the 'U.S. dept of HHS... '
So I don't have to worry about bibliography so much.. that looks like my only source... which always sucks!(the bibliography part) |
