10 Types of Plagiarism. Plagiarism.org. N.p., 16 Nov. 2012. Web. 22 Apr. 2013.
Direct Quotations
When the writer uses the exact words from a source.
Quotations should be used sparingly and when the language is important.
These words are, of course, surrounded by quotation marks.
Quotations must be combined with the writer's original words. Example: We know Santiago, "...had seen many great fish" (Hemingway 63).
Omitted words are noted by ellipses (...), but one must be certain the context of the quote stays the same.
Long quotations of more than four lines are set off by a colon, NOT enclosed in quotation mars, and indented 10 spaces/2 tabs.
Paraphrasing:
As always, if you use someone's information, it needs to be cited even when using your own language.
Therefore, paraphrasing is expressing someone else's idea and/or work in your own words.
Use a parenthetical citation at the end of the paraphrase. Example: ..until the idea becomes a reality (Smith 62).
Summarizing
A shortened version and/or broad overview of a source that focuses on the key points.
Written in one's own worlds
Use a parenthetical citation at the end of the summary. Example: ..the law will take effect in 2014 (Lewis and Buckley).
