Study Notes
- There are two main ways to incorporate existing research into your study; paraphrasing and quoting.
Paraphrasing
- Paraphrasing is used to demonstrate comprehension of the writer’s idea.
- It involves rewording the text and articulating the points using your own words.
- It is very important that it not simply changing a few words.
- Paraphrasing should always include an in-text citation.
- Paraphrase to show you understand the main ideas of the author.
- Paraphrase to explain difficult concepts or terminology and to highlight original ideas when the language is not as interesting.
- Paraphrase to change the emphasis of information to match your own arguments, and to provide a clear "voice" in your paper that isn't directly connected to other works
Quoting
- Quoting involves copying a section of someone else’s writing.
- Use the exact wording as it was originally written.
- When quoting, use quotation marks (" ") around the selected text.
- Always include an in-text citation.
- Use direct quotes if the original wording is strong and engaging.
- Direct quote if it is well known or difficult to paraphrase.
- Direct quote if you want to lend support to your ideas and to present the author's detailed methods or findings or exact stated position
Summarizing
- Summarizing involves restating the key ideas from a longer passage, such as several sentences or paragraphs.
- Main ideas are restated using your own words.
- Summaries should be shorter than the original passage.
- Always include a citation.
In-text Citations
- In-text citations briefly document the source of information within the body of a research paper.
- Standard in-text citations include the author’s last name, followed by the publication year in parentheses, for example, (Smith, 2007).
- When quoting, include the page number if available.
- Page numbers are not required for paraphrasing.
- If the author's name is not provided, use the first word(s) of the title and maintain the original formatting, for example, (Naturopathic, 2007).
