I am getting confused about one thing:
I am reading a paper say X. Paper X has a Lemma in it. I am also writing a paper for my dissertation. I want to use the Lemma from Paper X in proving a theorem in my paper.
While quoting Lemma from paper X, do I need to state the Lemma as Lemma in my dissertation, or I can write it as a Proposition.
My question is simple: While citing a Lemma from a paper, is it required to call it as Lemma in my dissertation too? Or I can cite the Lemma but name it as Proposition in my paper?
If someone could tell me what is the standard procedure here, I shall be grateful.
You can cite Lemma 2.3 from paper X, and, when quoting it, write it as Proposition 8.7.
For example:
“...<in-text citation of Lemma 2.3> (which we reproduce here as Proposition 8.7).”
