Practicing Quotes

Here is a sample of the upcoming QRG on BPA dental sealants. This portion is just practice for adding and contextualizing direct quotations for the QRG. (Note: The AMA stylization of adding quotations revolves around using paraphrases rather than direct quotes and reference numbers rather than straightforward acknowledgements. Therefore, for this practice, I used some MLA format to include direct quotes while using superscripted numbers for the AMA reference.)

For this portion, the colors are defined as follows:

ORANGE indicates the signal phrases to begin the direct quote;
YELLOW states the qualifications and authority of the writer/speaker;
BLUE provides the context of the passage and some interpretation of the quotation; and
GREEN points out the brackets and ellipses I placed in the quotes to keep grammatical fluidity.
