- 4.6: Ellipses and Brackets
- Quoting a source involves more than simply copying and pasting; you want the material to make sense to your readers and serve a larger purpose. Quoting is really an art form, but sometimes you have to omit or add material to a direct quotation for a passage to make sense or flow. Understanding ellipses... and brackets [ ] will help you accomplish this.
