A paraphrase is... your own rendition of essential information and ideas expressed by someone else, presented in a new form. one legitimate way (when accompanied by accurate documentation) to borrow from a source. a more detailed restatement than a summary, which focuses concisely on a single main idea.

Guidelines for submission of written work

There are 3 people involved in this decision: the author of the text you are referencing the writer (you) the reader (often your teacher).

There are 3 common types of in-text citation: 1). Direct Quote – means using the exact same words as the original author 2). Paraphrasing - means using the ideas of an author, but not his or her exact words. However, the meaning should be the same. You can do this, for example, to say that 2 different authors have the same opinion, and give the opinion as a paraphrase. This shows that you can categorise ideas, which is a useful study skill that can improve your marks in assignments. 3). Summarize - is writing a summary of what the author says. It is useful because: you can miss out unnecessary details, such as examples you can use less words than the author, and therefore reduce the number of words in your writing
