Examples of In-text Citation Placement
1. Block Quote:
Some researchers discuss how they chose the structure for their wiki:
We have also seen a number of wikis where the community-defined structure itself served as a barrier to new users. Both of us had been stymied before by wikis that contained an underlying information structure so idiosyncratic we could not find our way to the information we wanted. We decide to address this by developing the initial structure ourselves, with feedback from users. We planned a fairly slow and controlled process , working on different parts of the structure at different times. (Deitering and Bridgewater 2007)
