: Re: How to cite an entire paragraph? How to cite an entire paragraph taken from a book? Is it just writing the paragraph as a separate one and adding (Author, Year) in the end? Will it not imply

I know this has an accepted answer, but it's from Billy Bob. The APA Guide has the following to say:

When writing an entire paragraph about a single study, introduce that
paragraph by stating that you will refer to the same study throughout
the paragraph, then cite the reference. This avoids awkwardness and
redundancy.

And as to indenting, this is what it says:

If the quotation has more than 40 words, use a block quotation. Begin
the quotation on a new line and indent a half-inch from the left
margin. Double-space the entire quotation, and at the end of the
quotation, provide citation information after the final punctuation
mark.

I hope this helps!
