CITATIONS AND REFERENCES

We will understand a citation as the incorporation that the author makes of texts, ideas or

theories that have been taken from other people. Because the vast majority of the topics to
developing has already been addressed by other authors, it is essential to make
reference to them when conducting our research, otherwise we would be incurring in
plagiarism.

The quotes aim to serve as support for what the author is expressing,

in disagreement. It is important to highlight that all quotes must be analyzed and commented on.
before or after being presented, being useless if this treatment is not given, since
their main function is to corroborate the author's mastery of the subject.

We found two types of quotes:

Quotations.

These must be placed promptly as they were found in the original source, that is
to say in an exact and identical manner, fully respecting the structure, wording, and even
the errors that may arise. We can make a distinction between short and long quotes:

For our specific projects, we will consider a short quote as one that
it does not exceed 5 lines in our document, this will be presented in quotes, on a line
run and incorporated within the paragraph that is being developed.

Work motivation is considered to be the 'process that accounts for the intensity,
direction and persistence of an individual's effort to achieve a goal
this being the process that allows for the evaluation of perseverance of a
worker to achieve an organizational goal.

A long quote must be clearly differentiated from the rest of the text, we will achieve this,
placing it in Arial 10 font, in an independent paragraph with a 1 cm right indent
to the left (in this case, quotation marks will not be used). These quotes should only be used when they are

strictly necessary and essential and not to increase the volume of the document.

cleanliness, order, like the customs derived from cultural traditions.

reworking of the same. (Roosenberg, 1999, pp. 18-19)
