Hi Ed,
Before I submit an article I'm working on I want to clarify CC's rules on quotes and mentioning the name of experts in an article. Would a sentence using a source and paraphrasing him be acceptable, such as:
According to John Doe, M.D., of the University of Minnesota, the percentage of older women with eating disorders has grown over the past ten years.
And would I need to reference where this information came from right in the sentence or at the end of the article?
And are direct quotes acceptable (within reason) if I reference where they came from at the end of the article?
When I write for magazines they allow a few quotes used from other sources as long as the sources are referenced at the end. I'm not quite sure how you feel about this, though.
Thanks
