Rules – secondary sources
Imagine that I read a book/journal article by Jones and in it he talked about some research/an idea from Smith.

Rules – long quotes
Quotations < 40 words should use double quotation marks, (“ ”).
Quotations > 40 words should appear in a free-standing block and omit quotation marks. The quotation should be started on a new line, indented five spaces from the left margin. For example:

He also found that if they asked for help, then they found APA style simple
