You sure you're allowed to copy the whole article? I think you made more than just quoting.

... the attempts in my country to criminalize a post like this ... It's not like I'm claiming this as a school paper of mine.

You could use your own words, and add a quote, which would have been sufficient, as the link to the original site can be followed easily.
I - as an author - would hate it to find my work copied and pasted in extenso somewhere else. What hinders your re-wording of the content of that article? Apart from laziness ...
Happily, I'm not your country, and no prosecutor either. Wink


ConLang is crediting the author and linking to the original version of the article. I don't see a problem.



Typing someone's work up and posting it online would be breach of copyright (unless you had their permission). Providing a link to something that's already on-line isn't.


Further, I'd say no-one who wrote it is likely to care. Articles get copied up into mainstream magazines all the time, have done since long before the internet became widespread.
U.K readers might know the 'Funny Old World' section of satirical meiterwerk Private Eye.....

(For college/university papers we/some people use MLA or pursue formatting - if more than 4 lines of text comes out -there is "credit" given with page #, where published, date published and http://www.sfkfkoifoedo. com etc., )  but again - to each their own - for some people it is serious business for others they are happy anyone reads their stuff...

Smile back to thread - interesting for sure.  I see truth in the findings personally.

I still don't necessarily care to be thought of as "abnormal" simply because I lack aptitude in socialization and can't organize my thoughts as easily as others (being too focused on one interest at a given time, and whatnot) OR because I have difficulty with making eye contact with strangers.

I see it more along the lines of re-purposing the word and turning it into a positive. I've had some success with things like that in the past.

'Abnormal' doesn't just mean not common-place. It means outside the bounds of accepted norms. I think most of us here would be within those norms, albeit displaying non-standard traits.

Now I'll quote their self-description:

Quote:
The Journal of Abnormal Psychology® publishes articles on basic research and theory in the broad field of abnormal behavior, its determinants, and its correlates. The following general topics fall within its area of major focus:

  • psychopathology—its etiology, development, symptomatology, and course;
    normal processes in abnormal individuals;
  • pathological or atypical features of the behavior of normal persons;
  • experimental studies, with human or animal subjects, relating to disordered emotional behavior or pathology;
  • sociocultural effects on pathological processes, including the influence of gender and ethnicity; and
  • tests of hypotheses from psychological theories that relate to abnormal behavior.

Theoretical papers of scholarly substance on abnormality may be appropriate if they advance understanding of a specific issue directly relevant to abnormal psychology and fall within the length restrictions of a regular (not extended) article. The priority is empirical papers.
Each article should represent an addition to knowledge and understanding of abnormal behavior in its etiology, description, or change.
...
Journal of Abnormal Psychology® is a registered trademark of American Psychological Association.

Seems to be a term with diverging connotations.
