APA Tip of the Day: Errors in Quotes

“Direct quotations must be accurate. Except as noted here and in sections 6.07 and 6.08, the quotation must follow the wording, spelling, and interior punctuation of the original source, even if the source is incorrect” (APA, 2010, p. 172).

In Addition:

“If any incorrect spelling, punctuation, or grammar in the source might confuse readers, insert the word sic, italicized and bracketed, immediately after the error in the quotation…. Always check the manuscript copy against the source to ensure that there are no discrepancies” (APA, 2010, p. 172).

Fictitious Example:

“Direct quotations must be accurately [sic]. Except as noted here and in sections 6.07 and 6.08, the quotation must follow the wording, spelling, and interior punctuation of the original source, even if the source is incorrect” (APA, 2010, p. 172).
