If someone can recommend a good paper answers the question that will be great, TQ
Dear Esmat Wahdain:
Please see my project entitiled: PowerPoint, Capstone Project, Understanding Culture in Higher Education Today. It may answer some of your questions.
Best regards,
Hi Esmat,
There are different conventions for references, but I think the easiest one is:
text - author's name in alphabet (year) - text
References (journal article)
Author's family name, author's person name in alphabet - author's full name if another writing system applies (year) - title of the paper in alphabet - title by using other writing system - translation in brackets - journal title (same applies, i.e. alphabet, other writing system, translation).
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Daniel
Use the style of your field, but, generally, you can treat it like paraphrase. Translate, but cite it as a paraphrase/translation and the full citation includes the title in the original language and a translated title so your readers can recognize it.
Dear Karen Riley-Brown, thank you for the sharing, although I couldn't find an answer to my question in the project updates, I found some other interesting content ( the literature matrix for example) T.Q
Dear Daniel Kadar and Dee Broughton, thank you, that was helpful, I found the following example that illustrates citing from German journal:
Janzen, G., & Hawlik, M. (2005). Orientierung im Raum: Befunde zu Entscheidungspunkten [Orientation in space: Findings about decision points]. Zeitschrift für Psychologie, 213(4), 179–186. doi:10.1026/0044-3409.213.4.179
When quoting a text in a foreign Language within the paper, I usually see two options:
1) keeping the original text (used in the field of languages, or when you assume the target reader might be acquainted with the Language)
2) Tranlate the text, then at the end of the quote, report in brackets "my translation".
Dear Esmat,
I am not sure you will need to translate the literature materials. All you need is to properly review them in English (if English is required) at the appropriate corner of your work, and let your examiner / supervisor / reader see that you have established the aim of the work (being reviewed), the methods and theory(ies) used, the findings, and the conclusion. If you are able to clearly do all of these, then you are ready to go. i hope this helps, anyway?
Best,
Chuka
So quoting the original text is done in the field of languages, or if the potential readers have some knowledge about the original language.....
Thank you Daniele Gabrielli for the valuable addition
Thank you Chuka for your comment, I do agree with you, it is about reviewing the previous work .. however, you may need to translate in case of quoting some important statements or key findings...
best regards
