Hi
In writing related work section in contribution papers or during writing review and survey articles, it is often necessary to report the mathematics (mathematical equations) from the cited literature. I have seen that many researchers use the same mathematical symbols and equations without any modifications but with citations to the cited literature. In this way, the mathematical equations used are identical to the ones used in original manuscript. In text, we write the proposed work in our own wordings, which avoids similarity, but what about these mathematical equations.
Please help, your answer may change the lives of many researchers.
Kindest Regards
There are specific universally accepted citation process for this case, usually we use "quotation marks" for such instances.
Dear Lakiang
Where can I find these "specific universally accepted citation process for mathematical equations?"
In addition, I don't see any "quotation marks" around the mathematical equations. See for example, papers on Information Retrieval, you wouldn't be able to find any quotation marks, they are used only for "textual" description, which we usually avoid because of rephrasing or writing in our own words.
Looking forward to your help and valuable guidance.
Kindest Regards
Hi Irfan, not specifically to mathematical equation but for any sentences/phrase/numbers, etc that you directly quote from the papers for which paraphrasing is not possible. You can refer the APA citation guidelines or any other citations guidelines also will do.
