If this is what\nyou need to do with your writing, remember that there are several ways to\nintroduce the sayings of other people into your text \u2013 direct quotation,\nparaphrasing, or summarizing them. This article will teach how to apply these\nmethods in your writing, and when each of them is better to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we proceed to defining the\npeculiarities and differences between these three methods, let\u2019s see what they\nare used for in writing. You should use quotations, summaries, and paraphrasing\nif you want to link your own ideas and thoughts on a certain subject to the\nthoughts and ideas of authoritative authors who have published their works.\nHere is how your writing benefits if you use the abovementioned methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You put\nyour writing into a wider academic\/social context. For example, if you need\nsome background information or clarification, you can discuss the source.<\/li><li>You\nincrease the credibility of your writing. It means that when you mention\nauthoritative authors in your papers, it means that you conducted thorough\nresearch on your topic and base your arguments on proved facts.<\/li><li>You add\ncomplexity to your arguments. The more your arguments are complex; the more\ninteresting they look to the audience. This can be achieved by adding evidence\nthat both support and contradict your opinion.<\/li><li>You add\nreliable, supportive arguments. You make your arguments more trustworthy when\nyou quote other reliable sources, their opinions.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing an Appropriate Method for Your Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nyou plan to compose a powerful winning paper, you need to use the\nabovementioned methods or some of them. But before you start inserting them in\nyour text, you should know the peculiarities of each of them to use them\nproperly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Summaries\nhave a smaller volume than their original. They are a general overview of their\nsource. When you insert a summary, you cite it with an in-text citation. Do not\nforget to include it on your reference page.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use\nsummary when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You want\nto provide some background or overview on the given topic<\/li><li>You want\nto show you are not the only one who addressed this topic&nbsp;<\/li><li>You want\nto single out main ideas from one source&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is paraphrasing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Paraphrasing\nmeans that you present somebody else\u2019s idea with your own words. Remember, it\nis not just replacing a couple of words or changing their order. You really\nneed to paraphrase the whole thing and present it in your words, give your\nunderstanding of it. When using paraphrasing, use in-text citations. And do not\nforget to add it to your reference page.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use\nparaphrasing when:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A section\nin your text needs clarification<\/li><li>You don\u2019t\nwant to use too many quotations<\/li><li>A direct\nquote is not needed for explaining something<\/li><li>Main\npoints in the section need to be explained<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a quotation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A\nquote is an exact saying of its author rendered word for word without changes.\nTo insert a quote in the text, use quotation marks. Remember to cite them both\nwith in-text quotations and on the reference page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quotes\nare used when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You want\nto emphasize somebody else\u2019s research the same topic you work on<\/li><li>You want\nto compare different points of view&nbsp;<\/li><li>You want\npowerful support for your argument in the form of words by an authority\u2019s\nauthor<\/li><li>You want\nto express your disagreement with the author&nbsp;<\/li><li>You need\nto emphasize some important sections in your work<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quote vs. Paraphrase vs. Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever\nyou choose to apply in your writing, you will be using citations. If you cite\nthe words of another author in the wrong way, this will be considered\nplagiarism. When you cite properly and add a reference to the original source,\nno one will blame you for plagiarism. To avoid such an unpleasant outcome, you\nshould know the rules when and how each technique is used.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quotes vs. Paraphrasing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The\neasiest way to use the original source is quoting. You just copy the author\u2019s\nwords exactly how they are. However, you cannot use as many quotes as you wish.\nYou will probably receive requirements with your assignment, where they say\nthat direct quotes should not exceed 10% of your writing. This is not a caprice\nof your supervisor. It will help your paper remain original. Remember, those\nquotes are not used instead of your own ideas. They are used to support or\ncontradict your opinion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paraphrasing\nis the opposite of a quotation. You don\u2019t use direct words of the author, but\nrewrite them with your own words, just how you understand them. This should be\na good rewording, not just substituting some words in the original. This came\nat handy when direct quotes reached its limit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary vs. Paraphrasing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>None\nof this renders the direct words of their author. What you are allowed to do is\ntake the phrase or sentences or passage you like and render its main idea with\nthe words of your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do summary and paraphrasing differ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paraphrase\noften has approximately the same length as the original message. You can stick\nto the author\u2019s direct words close, but still, use your own words to express\nthe main idea. Paraphrasing can show your knowledge of the sources of the\nmaterial you use for your writing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A\nsummary is usually shorter than the original message. You neither use direct\nwords of the author of the original saying nor render all the ideas it\ncontains. You briefly sum up the message and emphasize those points that you\ncan use for the benefit of your writing, is which closely relate to your topic\nand your point of view. In summary, you are allowed to mention an article or a\nbook form which this material was taken.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No\nmatter which method you prefer using in your writing, you should always use it\nproperly. Remember to add citations inside the text and mention the source on\nyour reference page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let Professionals Do It for You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\ncan find a lot of available free information on writing your assignments on our\nsite.
