The Quote Hamburger<\/strong><\/p>\n Our professor had already introduced us to the “quote hamburger” \u00a0method which is \u00a0related to the topic Gail was discussing in the class that day.<\/p>\n Source: Wikimedia Commons<\/p><\/div>\n \u00a0The Top Bun- introduces the audience to the author<\/p>\n The Meat- the quote from the source<\/p>\n The Bottom Bun- interprets the quote in the context of the paper’s thesis<\/p>\n So, we had worked on introducing articles\/authors before. However, the quote hamburger is a more general concept.<\/p>\n Getting Specific with Gail<\/strong><\/p>\n Gail focused in on the first section of the quote hamburger. We were analyzing which information was pertinent, and important to tell\u00a0the audience. Going over several examples we got a sense of what information should be included like an authors name ( if you are going to refer to the author later) and what information can be excluded (a description of a journal like Foundations of Psychology <\/em>which the reader does not need explained to them).<\/p>\n Of course, how much you tell the audience depends on how you are using the source. If I am using Bob\u00a0Smith’s article on rocket science to write a research paper on rockets, I should include his PhD in rocket science, but I don’t necessarily need to include his name.<\/p>\n And, if I am using a tweet on how amazing Ritz crackers are, to prove my point that celebrities love Ritz crackers then I must remember to tell my audience who the tweet is from. If I don’t tell them it is from a famous celebrity then the tweet seems irrelevant to my point.<\/p>\n Additionally, Gail mentioned open access\u00a0journals. I had not really heard of this movement that makes articles open to anyone, without having to pay for a subscription to the journal. The researcher instead is\u00a0the one who has to pay to get their work published. This is an interesting idea\u00a0but in relation to quoting a source, if it is open access is important to note. It may seem arbitrary but knowing how a journal is funded influences what it will publish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" That is, a field trip to\u00a0the library on campus. It was pretty adventurous. The librarian Gail, had a lesson prepared on integrating sources into our research paper. Specifically, how to introduce our sources to our audience.
