Keltirishi

Keltirishi is a term in Uzbek that refers to the act of bringing forth information from other sources, commonly understood as citing or quoting sources in writing. The noun form keltirishi is derived from the verb keltirish (to bring, to cite) with the suffix -ishi indicating the act or process. In practice, keltirishi encompasses presenting evidence, data, or statements from external sources and giving proper attribution to those sources.

In usage, keltirishi appears in academic writing, journalism, and legal documents. It includes both direct quotations, where the original text is reproduced verbatim, and paraphrased or summarized statements, where the meaning is conveyed in different words while still acknowledging the source. Both forms require clear citation to enable readers to locate the original material. Common expressions include manbani keltirish (to cite a source) and manbalari keltirilgan ma'lumotlar (information with cited sources).

Ethical and practical considerations of keltirishi involve accuracy, context, and attribution. Quoted material should be reproduced faithfully unless a deliberate and clearly indicated modification is necessary. Paraphrased content should reflect the original meaning and be supported by the cited sources. Respect for copyright, avoidance of plagiarism, and adherence to appropriate citation styles or guides are central to proper keltirish practice.
