Quoting, Paraphrasing By Dana Driscoll And Brizee

Each is used in essays depending on the source, level of knowledge used compared to the authors and readers, and the phrasing of the source. Quotes are needed when it's "said so well that it's worth repeating", too complex to briefly state clearly, establishing creditability, what is being analyzed by the writer, and differing views for the writer. Paraphrasing is used to bring out important details and to simplify for clarity. Summarizing is the basic opposite of paraphrasing, focusing on main idea rather than the details. After page 389 it goes into detail, providing examples, and clarifying

Summarizing – putting a text’s main ideas and main supporting points into one’s own words.

Even cite paraphrased information. Quoted or paraphrased material should not dominate a student’s work; use it sparingly to support your own thoughts, ideas, and examples.  Failure to properly cite material can jeopardize a passing grade on the exam. Your work may be submitted to turnitin.com, an online plagiarism checking service.

Since starting Unit 3, I have learned a variety of writing/citing techniques. Previous to this unit, I did not realize that it was necessary to cite a paraphrase. Now I am knowledgeable on how to document paraphrases and quotations. I now know that to correctly document a quotation, it is vital to include the three parts: an in-text citation, quotation marks, and it must be included in the works cited. I have also learned that documenting a paraphrase is similar, but requires one less step. One does not need to include quotation marks. Alongside learning how to accurately document a source, I have also been informed about what plagiarism actually is. I found out that the magic number is 3 or more of important words. I also learned

General Principles Writers use quotations for a variety of purposes: to argue with another author’s definition of a term, to provide statistical evidence or testimony to validate a claim; to present the reader with a statement we wish to refute or discuss in detail. If writers overdo and include too many quotations in a research essay, readers will form the negative impression that the authors of those sources are more authoritative than the writer of the research paper. Often the voices of those authorities drown out the writer’s voice, in a sense taking over authorship of the paper. Writers should use direct quotations only when the source’s words are particularly relevant, powerful, and/or an extremely

Correctly paraphrasing and summarizing research will be important when writing papers to help avoid plagiarism. Paraphrasing ideas will be particularly useful in ACCT 220 6381 when trying to incorporate an accounting definition within a paper by creating my own interpretation of the information learned. Summarizing will be useful when writing a paper where a lot of research is required. This will allow me to incorporate all the necessary pieces of newly learned information into my assignment. Whenever direct phrases are reused in any work, quotations and citations are still required to avoid plagiarism.

•Include Author’s name with every change from one source to another source for all material quoted, summarized, or paraphrased and the page number in parenthesis in order to prevent plagiarism.

While there are many different reasons why writers choose to use certain writing techniques, some of the common forms are the usage of quotations, paraphrasing, and mostly summarizing. Let’s begin with the three differences of each one, and the purpose why so many people use them to incorporate each one into their writing styles. “ One of the most popular and common one is quotations, this is when you quote exactly what you just read by using word for word translation” (www.mesaaz.com). This means you copy the text the way it was originally written, without any changes what so ever to the original. You’ll then complete it by giving the author credit where credit is due, by putting it in quotation brackets’. “Another reason people may choose to quote is to emphasize a key point, or to bring your attention to an important concept” (www.mesaaz.com). Another way is to simply show your readers that the

Using work made by another person without giving them credit is specifically called plagiarism. If an individual uses other people’s work more than writing up their own ideas, it is considered plagiarism. According to Plagiarism.org (2014), plagiarism is committing literary theft. Using someone else’s work, whether it is in quotations, summarized, or used word for word without quotation marks and not citing it would be considered to be

There for it is important to give credit to the original source of your writing.

 To quote sources in your own paper, type quotations of three lines or fewer in the text. Type the lines you quote exactly as they appear in the original work. Give the author’s name and the page number in parentheses, immediately after the closing quotation marks and before the closing punctuation. Note these examples:

You must credit any information you get from another source, including paraphrased text, direct quotations,

I learned that paraphrasing does not mean copying word by word from the article, but describing it in your own words without changing the meaning of the author. If I was able to change something prior to accomplishing this assignment, I would have changed the

Direct quotations must equal the original source exactly, word for word. The source of the quotation must be cited. The organization of direct quotations may vary with the placement of the quoted material in the sentence. The author’s last name, the year of publication, the website title or section title, and the paragraph number, when no page number is available, are included in the citation. Quotations that contain fewer than forty words are enclosed in double quotation marks within the text. Use single quotation marks for quotations contained within a direct quotation. Use double quotation marks to indicate a quotation within the block quotation. Paraphrasing allows the writer to present someone else’s ideas and acknowledges the original author.

Citation is the excess of someone else's announcement or ponderings. Quotes are accentuated engravings used as a piece of substance to show the articulations of a substitute speaker or reporter. These words contracted at this crossroads and present are alluded to as "quote(s)".
