Quotation is  something that is quoted or the process of quoting something. quotataion often use when someone write a research paper. Because a research paper can be made stronger when we put a quotation from an expert, it will be a good refferences to publish your research paper. There are several types of using quotation there are how to use droped quotation, how to use full sentences of quotation, and how to use block quotation.

• How to use dropped quotation. 

Before you want to use a dropped quotation into your research paper, you should understand how to use it well. Dropped quotations are partial phrase that took from a complete text. It means the key point of text. Dropped quotes are comprised of only a few words and give no direction as to who the speaker is or the content it’s referring to. These must always be introduced within a sentence, and cannot comprise a complete sentence on their own. Here are the examples of using drop quotation.

1.  Use a complete sentence to incorporate a dropped quote. Ex: As Rembrandt’s skill developed, he began painting landscapes that are “romantic and visionary” (Wallace 96).
2. Use a tag to incorporate a dropped quote: Rembrandt’s landscapes are “romantic and visionary” (Wallace 96).

• How to use full sentences of quotation

The second one is how to use full sentences quotation in writing a research paper. The most important thing that you have to do you should understand how to use it.Full sentence quotes are created by quoting complete sentences that take up less than 4 lines. Although these are complete sentences, they cannot be used as stand-alone sentences in your paper. Introduce them with an additional complete sentence or a signal phrase. here some example of using full sentences of quotation in research paper.

1. Over the course of time Rembrandt’s work began to change and focus on different themes, but as Wallace points out: "Rembrandt’s great gift as an etcher lay in preserving a sense of spontaneity while scrupulously attending to close detail.
2. As Wallace states, “Rembrandt’s great gift as an etcher lay in preserving a sense of spontaneity while scrupulously attending to close detail”

• How to use block quotation

h The last one is how to use block quotes. Block quotes are multiple sentences that quoted directly from a source which take up more than 4 lines in your paper. The type of this quotation takes up a lot of physical space that is why when you use this type of quotation, you should use the quotation with maximum of 1-2 for a complete paper.Incorporate a block quote by adding a complete line space between your own content and the quote, and offsetting it by indenting the entire quote to the right a single time.
