• Don’t forget to turn on the citation switch.
  • [引用した文章が <数値> 件あります] の横にあるスイッチをオン にします
  • Don’t just check flagged “フラグ済みの文”. You must ALSO click 詳細, then if you see it [引用した文章が <数値> 件あります] の横にあるスイッチをオン にします
• The instructions might say “適切に引用した文が含まれているテキスト”
  • but using “適切” is tricky. It’s OK to use it
    • ONLY IN QUOTES “ “
    • ONLY ONCE per paragraph
    • ONLY IF the actual words are important.
  • For example
    • OK: King said that he had a dream (King, 1963).
    • OK, occasionally: “I have a dream,” (King, 1963)
    • NOT OK, ever, anywhere: I have a dream (King, 1963)
