Writing a Research Paper - How to Document Your Sources
What is Plagiarism?
Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work, or borrowing someone else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of the offense:
In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.
Most cases of plagiarism can be avoided, however, by citing sources. Simply acknowledging that certain material has been borrowed, and providing your audience with the information necessary to
find that source, is usually enough to prevent plagiarism. See our section on citation for more information on how to cite sources properly.
This handout is intended to help you become more comfortable with the uses of and distinctions among quotations, paraphrases, and summaries. This handout compares and contrasts the three terms, gives some pointers, and includes a short excerpt that you can use to practice these skills.
What are the differences among quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing?
These three ways of incorporating other writers+ work into your own writing differ according to the closeness of your writing to the source writing. uotations must be identical to the original, using a narrow segment of the source. They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author. Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. ,araphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and condensing it slightly. Summari!ing involves putting the main idea-s. into your own words, including only the main point-s.. /nce again, it is necessary to attribute summari!ed ideas to the original source. 0ummaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material.
Why use quotations, paraphrases, and summaries?
1uotations, paraphrases, and summaries serve many purposes. 2ou might use them to . . .
,rovide support for claims or add credibility to your writing 3efer to work that leads up to the work you are now doing 4ive examples of several points of view on a sub5ect 6all attention to a position that you wish to agree or disagree with
7ighlight a particularly striking phrase, sentence, or passage by quoting the original Distance yourself from the original by quoting it in order to cue readers that the words are not your own 8xpand the breadth or depth of your writing
9riters frequently intertwine summaries, paraphrases, and quotations. As part of a summary of an article, a chapter, or a book, a writer might include paraphrases of various key points blended with quotations of striking or suggestive phrases as in the following example(
In his famous and influential work the Interpretation of Dreams, Sigmund Freud argues that dreams are the "royal road to the unconscious" (page #), expressing in coded imagery the dreamer's unfulfilled wishes through a process known as the "dream work" (page #)! "ccording to Freud, actual #ut unaccepta#le desires are censored internally and su#$ected to coding through layers of condensation and displacement #efore emerging in a kind of re#us pu%%le in the dream itself (page #)!
There are several ways to integrate quotations into your text. /ften, a short quotation works well when integrated into a sentence. Longer quotations can stand alone. 3emember that quoting should be done only sparingly; be sure that you have a good reason to include a direct quotation when you decide to do so. 2ou+ll find guidelines for citing sources and punctuating citations at our documentation guide pages. P"R"PHR"S#$% ,araphrasing is one way to use a text in your own writing without directly quoting source material. Anytime you are taking information from a source that is not your own, you need to specify where you got that information.
A paraphrase is...

- A source is the place where you find information: books, maga ines, web sites, newspapers, documentaries! " #o cite a source is to gi$e information about the source to the reader. " A quotation must be e%actly the same as written in the original source, in &'uotation marks,( and must be credited to the original author. )uotations should be no longer than a few sentences. A paraphrase or summary is your own e%pression of how you understand a concept or idea. #he idea must be credited to the original author. A paraphrase is usually shorter than the original and co$ers a small part of the original author*s te%t +maybe a few sentences, a paragraph, or a few paragraphs., A summary e%plains the main ideas of the original, but does not need to include supporting details, therefore a summary is much shorter than the original +a few paragraphs becomes a sentence or two, a chapter become a paragraph!, The simplest directions on how to paraphrase and summarize that I could think of :
1. -ead and reread a passage from the source. 2. .nderstand it well. 3. /lose the source, close your eyes and think about the concept0idea. 4. 1rite to e%press the concept0idea as you understand it. 5. 2eep your collection of paraphrases and summaries in a notebook.
3. 4abel each paraphrase and summary with the name of the source, author and page 5 or where
