There is a great paragraph in this article I found where the author discusses the assertions of other writers. Is it okay to put this in a research paper or is that a no-no?
In a research paper, is it okay to quote an article that is discussing other articles?
yeh
Reply:It's ok as long as it doesn't open up a whole can of worms. Basically if it helps back up your argument, then use it, but if it complicates what you are trying to assert, then don't bother. Secondary sources should be used to support your argument, not to make one for you. Make sure to cite it properly.
Reply:It is acceptable to use this quote. But, in research, during your literature review, you need to read the other articles, of course, that are discussed in the article being quoted from and then list those articles individually in your bib.
Reply:As long as you credit the quote in your bibliography.
Reply:Yes, if it has been published, (the article that reviews other articles in the subject) it is quite accepted to quote a "review article" as long as You cite it is such kind of work in the Bibliography, when You add such at the end of your work.
You should put the names, book chapter and pages of your reference article by alphabetic order and add the words (in parentheses of course) " revision article"
It is a very frequent question in research field of any science.

If you add a word or words in a quotation, you should put brackets around the words to indicate that they are not part of the original text.
Jan Harold Brunvand, in an essay on urban legends, states: "some individuals [who retell urban legends] make a point of learning every rumor or tale" (78).
If you omit a word or words from a quotation, you should indicate the deleted word or word by using ellipsis marks, which are three periods (...) preceded and followed by a space. For example:
In an essay on urban legends, Jan Harold Brunvand notes that "some individuals make a point of learning every recent rumor or tale ... and in a short time a lively exchange of details occurs" (78).
NOTE: According to the 6th Edition of the MLA Handbook, brackets are no longer needed around ellipses unless adding brackets would clarify your use of ellipses. For example, if there are ellipsis marks in the quoted author's work, do not put brackets around them; but do use brackets around ellipsis marks you add, so as to distinguish them from ellipsis marks in the quoted author's work. Also note that the MLA Style Guide still requires brackets, so it's probably best practice to follow the MLA manual appropriate to your assignment or publication.
