For example, verbatim quotes from short lengths of single words to longer quotations spanning multiple sentences, and indirect quotations in the form of summarizations or re-narrations. In the first phase of the project, we focused on the automatic identification of linking of direct quotations starting with quotations of a length of five or more words. In [Lotte and Annette: A Framework for Finding and Exploring Key Passages in Literary Works](https://aclanthology.org/2021.nlp4dh-1.7.pdf)[^1], we outline the current landscape for text reuse detection and the development of our tool [Quid](https://hu.berlin/quid). Although there are a number of existing tools, we found that all had limitations for our specific use case. We evaluated Quid and compared it to the existing tools. +Scholarly texts contain different types of quotations.
