Include a full bibliography (reference list) – list of all source you have used
Be sure to quote all sources you have used
Indirect quotations – is a summary, paraphrases of someone else’s words, ideas.
Below are examples how to cite indirect quotations:
According to Baker (2013), social media marketing is essential nowadays for companies/organizations because ….
or Before starting to use different social networking sites for marketing purposes, a company should identify its target audience … (Baker, 2013)
Nowadays, many marketing professionals believe that developing a social marketing plan is a rather challenging task due to the fact that social media is developing very fast, and every day new tools appear (Smith, 2013)
An organization that uses these new media to quickly react to a crisis might be perceived as more committed and honest; so the impressions and reactions might be based more on the medium than the actual message. (Schutz F., Utz S.& Göritz A., Public Relations Review (37), 2011 )
Direct quotation is when you copy directly phrases, sentences, or sections from an author’s article, website; you should cite with quotation marks.
For printed sources: the author’s last name and a page number within the parenthesis are indicated after the direct quote:
“The medium is the message because ….” (Marshal McLuhan (1996), p.152).
According to Sweetser & Metzgar, (2007) “blogs and twitters allow frequent publishing through a personal or human voice and could be used in crisis situations as a means of quick communication”. (p.340)
For online sources: the author’s last name is listed without the page number and a year of publication. Example: (Smith, 2013)
According to “last name of the author” (2010), “If organizations cannot adapt adequate approaches to the virtual environment they will be more vulnerable to new crises and fail to tackle them successfully.”
