APPENDICES
Citing a direct quotation
If a direct quote from a book, article, etc., is used you must:
• use single quotation marks (double quotation marks are usually used for quoting direct speech);
• state the page number.
... from this perspective learning is situated and inherently social in character: ‘Legitimate peripheral
participation is proposed as a descriptor of engagement in social practice that entails learning as an integral
constituent.’ (Lave & Wenger, 1991, p 35).
Citing an image/illustration/table/diagram/photograph/figure/
picture
You should provide an in-text citation for any images, illustrations, photographs, diagrams, tables or figures
that you reproduce in your work, and provide a full reference as with any other type of work.
They should be treated as direct quotes in that the author(s) should be acknowledged and page numbers
shown; both in your text where the diagram is discussed or introduced, and in the caption you write for it.
For example:
Table illustrating differences between Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s theories (Woolfolk, Huges & Walkup, 2008, p
56).
Or
Diagram ‘Teaching in the magic middle’ (Woolfolk, Huges & Walkup, 2008, p 57).
Citing from works with no obvious author
If you need to cite a piece of work which does not have an obvious author, you should use what is called a
‘corporate’ author. For example, many online publications will not have individually named authors, and in
many cases the author will be an organisation or company.
A European Union Directive, which makes a default right to work no more than 48 hours per week (Working
Time Directive, 2003), limits the training time available to surgeons.
