In summary, to properly cite a quote from an Insights article, you will need to include the author's name, the title of the article, the publication date, and the URL of the article. It is also possible to use a direct quote from an Insights article in a research paper, but it is important to properly cite the quote and only use quotes when necessary. Page numbers are not necessary when quoting from an Insights article and there are specific formatting guidelines to follow. Additionally, paraphrasing information from an Insights article is also acceptable, but proper citation and avoiding plagiarism is still important.

I do not know if this has come up before.

In the "Discuss in the Community" thread for an Insights article, is it possible to quote (including lots of maths) from the original article?

Because of browser and mathjax limitations the best way would be to find the content by viewing the source code and copy from there because you'll copy the direct latex code rather than just the symbols which won't copy over correctly.
