When you paraphrase or summarize, always include in-text citations to let the reader know that the material came from another source. Please check the content on the paraphrasing page for further information about paraphrasing. Thank you!
When paraphrasing or summarizing, always include in-text citations to let the reader know that the information or perspective came from someone other than you. You should not rely exclusively on in-text citations, however; also include a reference list at the end of your paper.
It is important to note that when you are citing sources within the body of your essay, you do not need to provide additional in-text citations beyond what we have already done for you. In other words, if you are explaining something that can be found in a book and also in the newspaper, then you only need to provide one in-text citation - the one for the book. Similarly, if you are referring to multiple instances of something being said or done, you can use one quotation and provide a footnote listing each occurrence without repeating the citation information for each time you refer to it.
Finally, remember that academic essays are primarily concerned with presenting facts and ideas rather than expressing yourself. So while you may want to include some personal opinion or analysis of your own, make sure that it fits within the main points you are trying to make.
Sources should be paraphrased and summarized. You must instead entirely paraphrase the author's thoughts in your own terms. It is not necessary to use quote marks. This shows that you have done some research on your topic and can back up your claims with relevant facts.
When you paraphrase, you put a section from the original source material into your own words. As with a quote, you must include an in-text reference at the conclusion of the paraphrased portion, crediting the material back to the original source. Summarizing is the process of putting the essential points into your own words. You can summarize a long piece of text by focusing on its most important ideas or topics. Citing is the act of giving credit to the author of some work. It is usually done at the end of your paper, when it is time to list all of the sources that have been used during your research process.
Paraphrasing and summarizing are both examples of creating new content from existing sources. Paraphrasing takes sections of text and changes them to sound like your own. Summarizing focuses on the main ideas in a long piece of writing or talking about several different subjects. Both methods require research and thinking before you start writing or speaking so you know what to paraphrase or summarize. Writing down your thoughts helps you come up with good ideas and provides notes if you need to reference something later on. Also, don't forget to give credit to your sources!
Citing is probably the most important thing for students to understand about quoting and referencing. When you cite someone else's work, you are showing that you have read their stuff and agree with it or want to use parts of it in your own work.
This shows that you are aware of copyright and licensing laws and do not intend to violate them by using unlicensed materials.
When is it necessary to reference sources?
The excerpts are almost the same length as the original. Always cite your sources. You're simply delivering the original material in a nutshell when you compress the author's words or thoughts without changing the meaning or adding interpretation using your own words. It should always be cited.
