D.   The Terms of Writing the Quote and the Source

Each retrieval or quotation of data from other people/writers, must be written the source of the quote/reference. In the quotation technique, there are 2 (two) types of quotes, namely direct quotes, and indirect quotes.

A direct quotation is an excerpt written precisely as the source, both the language and the spelling, by not making any changes at all. Quotes that are less than 4 (four) lines entered into the text, written as typed text, begin and end with quotation marks ("). Quotes that are 4 (four) or more in length are typed one space; writing begins after seven beats from the left edge.

Indirect quotes are quotes that are not precisely the same as the original. The author only takes the subject matter from the source quoted to be stated again with the sentence compiled by the author. Sentences containing the quotation of the idea are written in duplicate spaces as standard text. The source of the quote is written directly after the quoted text.

Regarding the writing of citation sources, there are several styles in scientific writing which can be chosen and adopted for the writing of citation sources.

The Al- Hakam Islamic Law & Contemporary Issues journal uses citations with the MENDELEY application, which is a body note model in the style of the American Psychological Association 6th Edition. Quotation writing format: between parentheses written last name, year of publication. Examples of direct quotes: Argumentation is a form of rhetoric that seeks to influence the attitudes and opinions of others so that they believe and ultimately act following what is desired by the writer or speaker (Keraf, 1983).

Examples of indirect quotations: As said by Satjipto Raharjo that arguments are writing that aims to influence the readers' beliefs to be sure of the opinions of writers even want to do what the author said (Raharjo, 2000).

Examples of source writing quote:
