In my paper, I want to cite a paragraph from another paper that looks like this:
Universities are an ideal target for attackers because they have high bandwidth and open systems.“A university is not a high security area,” says Andreas Pfitzmann, professor for data security at the Technische Universität, Dresden.
How can I do that citation?
Normally, you would switch between double and single ticks for the outer and inner quotation, respectively.
Alternatively, for a quotation of the length you are showing, consider using a (slightly indented) quotation block.
I will look for some examples when I have a stable connection again.
Of course, you should also check the styleguide of your target venue, although in my experience, paper styleguides rarely mention such details/special cases.
