This is one of the most important parts of the writing process, because the sources \"support\" and \"prove\" your claims. Remember the 80% rule, though--at least 80% of your writing should be your own words!\n<h1>Integrating Sources<\/h1>\n<p id=\"mccrimmon-ch22_s02_p01\" class=\"para editable block\">Your goal within a research paper is to integrate other sources smoothly into your paper to support the points you are making. As long as you give proper credit, you can ethically reference anyone else\u2019s work. You should not, however, create a paper that is made up of one reference after another without any of your input. You should also avoid using half-page or whole-page quotations. Make sure to write enough of your material so that your sources are integrated into your work rather than making up the bulk of your paper.<\/p>\n&nbsp;\n<div class=\"textbox textbox--sidebar textbox--learning-objectives\"><header class=\"textbox__header\">Read, Think, Write:<\/header>\n<div class=\"textbox__content\">\n\nAs you look for sources:\n\n<em>Underline<\/em>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Main ideas, support, answers to questions, key words<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<em>Annotate<\/em>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Notes in the margins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<em>Outline<\/em>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Reduce the piece into a simple outline to see the relationship of ideas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<em>Take Notes<\/em>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Jot down relevant points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mccrimmon-ch22_s02_p02\" class=\"para editable block\">Think of yourself as a kind of museum docent or tour guide when you are integrating sources into your work. You\u2019ll usually want to take some time to set up your use of a source by placing it in a proper context. That\u2019s why in most cases, before you even launch into quotation, paraphrase, or summary, you will have probably already used what\u2019s called a \u201csignal phrase\u201d that identifies the author of the source, and often the specific publication (whether web or print) from which it is taken. After your use of the source, you\u2019ll need to follow up with analysis and commentary on how you think it fits into the larger context of your argument.<\/p>\n\n<h1>Quotes<\/h1>\nQuotes involve the following:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Introducing the quote<\/li>\n \t<li>Taking a source word-for-word, putting it in your paper, and using quotation marks.<\/li>\n \t<li>Citing the source correctly in the documentation style you are using for your paper.<\/li>\n \t<li>Wrapping up the quote with your own words in a way that clearly shows readers how the quote is related to your argument.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Paraphrases and summaries<\/span><\/h1>\n<div id=\"mccrimmon-ch07_s07_s02\" class=\"section\">\n\nParaphrases involve the following:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Taking details from a source and putting them in your own words.<\/li>\n \t<li>Must be cited correctly.<\/li>\n \t<li>No page number needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSummaries involve the following:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Taking the main idea of a source and summarizing it in your own words.<\/li>\n \t<li>Must be cited correctly.<\/li>\n \t<li>No page number needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"mccrimmon-ch22_s03_p02\" class=\"para editable block\">Paraphrased and summarized text is cited within text in the same way that quoted material is cited except that quotations are not used.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"title editable block\">Properly Summarizing and Paraphrasing<\/h2>\n<p id=\"mccrimmon-ch07_s07_s02_p01\" class=\"para editable block\">When you summarize, you should write in your own words and the result should be substantially shorter than the original text. In addition, the sentence structure should be your original format.

Paraphrasing should also involve your own sentence structure. Paraphrasing might, however, be as long or even longer than the original text. When you paraphrase, you should include, in your words, all the ideas from the original text in the same order as in the original text. You should not insert any of your ideas.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mccrimmon-ch07_s07_s02_p03\" class=\"para editable block\">Both summaries and paraphrases should maintain the original author\u2019s intent and slant. Taking details out of context to suit your purposes is not ethical since it does not honor the original author\u2019s ideas.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mccrimmon-ch07_s07_s02_p04\" class=\"para editable block\">Study the examples in the following table for clarification between summarizing, paraphrasing, quoting, and plagiarizing.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"informaltable block\">\n<table class=\"grid landscape\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Original text<\/td>\n<td>Some dramatic differences were obvious between online and face-to-face classrooms.

Regardless of which citation style you use, you should follow the following general guidelines:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"mccrimmon-ch07_s07_s03_l01\" class=\"itemizedlist editable block\">\n<li>Enclose all direct quotations in quotation marks and cite the source within the text, including page number, author, and year (if your style requires all these parts) so it is very clear where you acquired the information.<\/li>\n<li>When you summarize or paraphrase text, do not use quotations, but note the author and year (or other required information depending on the citation style) either as part of the sentence or in parentheses following the sentence to clearly note that the ideas belong to someone else.<\/li>\n<li>At the end of your paper, include a complete list of references, each properly cited using the required citation style.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Additional Resources:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing sources:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/owl.purdue.edu\/owl\/research_and_citation\/using_research\/quoting_paraphrasing_and_summarizing\/index.html\">https:\/\/owl.purdue.edu\/owl\/research_and_citation\/using_research\/quoting_paraphrasing_and_summarizing\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"mccrimmon-ch07_s07_s04_n02\" class=\"exercises editable block\">\n<h2>Attributions<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><em>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/2012books.lardbucket.org\/books\/writers-handbook\/s11-07-making-ethical-and-effective-c.html\">Making Ethical and Effective Choices<\/a>&#8221; licensed <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">CC BY NC SA 3.0<\/a>.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/2012books.lardbucket.org\/books\/writers-handbook\/s26-appendix-b-a-guide-to-research.html\">&#8220;Chapter 22&#8221;<\/a> licensed <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">CC BY NC SA 3.0<\/a>.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Content adapted from <a href=\"https:\/\/theworryfreewriter.pressbooks.com\/chapter\/mla-and-apa-formatting\/\">The Worry Free Writer<\/a> and licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/about\/cclicenses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CC BY NC SA.<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Content created by Dr. Sandi Van Lieu and and licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/about\/cclicenses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CC BY NC SA.<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"menu_order":3,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"Quotes, Paraphrases, and Summaries","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-70","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"part":61,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/karenmariepalmer.com\/theroughwritersguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/70","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/karenmariepalmer.com\/theroughwritersguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/karenmariepalmer.com\/theroughwritersguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karenmariepalmer.com\/theroughwritersguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/karenmariepalmer.com\/theroughwritersguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/70\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":149,"href":"https:\/\/karenmariepalmer.com\/theroughwritersguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/70\/revisions\/149"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/karenmariepalmer.com\/theroughwritersguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/61"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/karenmariepalmer.com\/theroughwritersguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/70\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/karenmariepalmer.com\/theroughwritersguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karenmariepalmer.com\/theroughwritersguide\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=70"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karenmariepalmer.com\/theroughwritersguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=70"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karenmariepalmer.com\/theroughwritersguide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=70"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
