quoting and citing non-internet sources

Post by Teal »

Hi all, sorry if this has been asked before. I tried a forum search but everything seemed to pertain only to website sources and rewording, not quotations out of the public domain or scientific literature.

So my basic questions are....
1. If my article uses quotation, will I be automatically marked for plagiarism?
2. Are the normal APA and MLA styles accepted forms of reference? I heard a lot of advice to do in-line citations only, but is that really acceptable for citing a scientific paper?
