“There are quote marks, ...”

If you look at the article, I think it’s clear that Business Insider added quote marks. They do it for both the original quotes (from other works) and what Crowley put in her dissertation. Notice both sets of passages have quote marks when clearly the original passages would not have had them. Thus, all of the quote marks were added by Business Insider precisely to show that they are particular passages in question.

Disagree entirely. Her quote marks are slightly botched, DON’T correspond with the matching text, and do agree with key phrases in such a way as to suggest that they are references to an original source. However, BI would have done far better to include any superscripts which are completely absent from both versions.
