I am looking for a good practice in writing a phd dissertation document, in order to insert block-quotations from an interview inside my document in the results chapter. My solution, right now, is just to insert a quotation environment and to make typography small, with this MWE:

    \documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\begin{document}
    \begin{quotation}
    \small this is the quote
    \end{quotation}
\end{document}

In my case, in order to put texts from interviews I've done, is there any well-recommended quotation format? (typography size, spacing, etc...)

    You should not do that. Your document should be clean. If you are only using quotations of this kind, your document should be like \begin{quotation} this is the quote \end{quotation} and then program the environment quotation to give the style you want. If you are having different “quotations”, you may want to define interviewquote for this particular use, and define others for other types, in case you want to differentiate them. – Manuel Feb 22 '17 at 16:45

    I don't think \begin{quotation}...\end{quotation} is the right approach with csquotes. You can customise the environment used by the \blockquote command from csquotes, rather than remembering to use \small{} all the time – Chris H Feb 22 '17 at 16:47

    Did you take a look at section 3.5, entitled "Block Quoting of Regular Text", of the user guide of the csquotes package? – Mico Feb 22 '17 at 16:48
