  1. How to Not plagiarize Guide! How to Not plagiarize Guide! • Should I paraphrase or quote? • In general, use direct quotations only if you have a good reason. Most of your paper should be in your own words • You should quote from a source • to show that an authority supports your point • to present a position or argument to critique or comment on • to see the actual language used by the author of the source • You should summarize or paraphrase when • what you want from the source is the idea expressed, and not the specific language used to express it . When do I need to list my sources? ALWAYS No matter if you use quotes, paraphrasing or summaries you MUST always list your sources…otherwise you are plagiarizing. For example, with Wikipedia, you can always find their sources. Example 2: I have written my sources at the bottom of this sheet! Different styles of writing have different rules of how you must list your sources. What are the differences among quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing? A quote is the exactwording of the source material (either written or spoken). Quotes match the original source word for word. A paraphrase is a detailed restatement in your own words of a written or sometimes spoken source material. Apart from the changes in organization, wording, and sentence structure, the paraphrase should be nearly identical in meaning to the original passage. A summary is a condensed version of a passage. Similar to paraphrasing, summarizing involves using your own words and writing style to express another author's ideas. The summary presents only the most important ideas of the passage.
