Block-quoting a list: where to put the citation? Suppose I write something like this


  Jones categorises things as follows:
  
  
  little things
  big things
  medium-size things
  


... where the entire list is a verbatim quotation from Jones. The list is block-quoted (i.e., it is indented, but there are no quotation marks). How can I make it clear that the entire list comes from Jones's paper? If I put the citation on the last item of the list, it might look like the citation is only for the last item.

The best solution I can think of is to clarify the situation in the surrounding text, something like the example below. Is this reasonable?


  Jones categorises things as shown below. (Entire list is from Jones, 2015.)
  
  
  little things
  big things
  medium-size things
No matter whether you quote the list verbatim or paraphrase it, I'm quite sure you don't need to make it a big deal. Quoting a list of bullets isn't really quoting long pieces of text that would need a note about being a verbatim quote; I would say it's more like quoting a theorem in maths. I would therefore go for one of the following:

Jones [Jon15] categorizes things as follows: LIST
Jones categorizes things as follows [Jon15]: LIST
(Jones, 2015) categorizes things as follows: LIST
etc.

Use the one that is consistent with your citation habits.
