  7. Other benefits of citation include… • It shows the amount of research you’ve done. • It strengthens your work by lending outside support to your ideas.

  8. When do I need to cite? Whenever… • you use direct quotations • you paraphrase • you make specific reference to the work of another • you use someone else’s ideas

  9. When DON’T I need to cite? Whenever what you are writing is considered common knowledge: • JFK was assassinated in Dallas, TX • The Declaration of Independence was signed July 4, 1776 • Smoking causes lung cancer

  10. In your paper, you will use both direct quotes and paraphrase • PARAPHRASE = a restatement of a text or passage giving the meaning in a different form • To avoid plagiarism, you must use • UNIQUE WORDS and UNIQUE SENTENCE STRUCTURE.

  12. How do I cite? Using a parenthetical citation or a footnote.
