comment Are contractions antithetical to academic writing?
Difficult situation. I would suggest using the APA Style Guide if it's an American-based publication and then doing whatever the reviewers suggest you should do. If it's not American, APA can still help, but perhaps do some research into what is seen as the most accepted style guide for that country.

comment Are contractions antithetical to academic writing?
That would be a reasonable assumption, @mcenley. Have you ever asked the reviewers and/or the publication's editors etc. whether or not there is a style guide they prefer? Just because they have not recommended it to you, doesn't mean there isn't one.

comment How to cite an entire paragraph?
@Kris - You're right, I wasn't aware of the different variations when I answered this. I answered it as best I could based on what I did know. If you know of the variations, then add them in the comments, or post your own answer to help others.
