Make sure: • The majority of your paper (80%) should be your own words. • The quotations and paraphrases are only used as support of what you are saying. • Do Not copy and paste entire paragraphs into your paper. • If you have a lengthy piece of information, paraphrase it into your own words and still document the original source.

  3. Citations • Remember to EMBED your quotes within your sentences. No naked quotes. • The citation comes at the end of the sentence that contains the quote / paraphrase. • Example: Drawing from his experience of fighting for civil rights peacefully, Martin Luther King Jr. stated, “a riot is the language of the unheard,” as he continued his quest of nonviolent action (Davis).
