his/her thoughts in your own words. When you paraphrase, you rework the source’s ideas, words, phrases, and sentence structures with your own. Like quotations, paraphrased material must be followed with in-text documentation and cited on your Works-Cited page.

Psychology textbook “The physical stimuli for the sense of taste are chemical substances that are soluble (dissolvable in water). The gustatory receptors are clusters of taste cells found in the taste buds that line the trenches around tiny bumps on the tongue” (Weiten & McCann, 2010, p. 169) Let’s paraphrase it: Our sense of taste comes from chemical substances that are dissolved in water. The taste buds contain clusters of taste cells that respond to these chemicals.
same word order, the same paragraph structure, it is still the intellectual property of the original author Instead of taking the original text and trying to change it, interpret it. Read your material; understand it; and then write about the meaning of the material in your own words. We are able to taste what we eat due to taste receptor cells found in the taste buds and these receptors are activated when chemicals in our food dissolve in the liquid of our mouth (Weiten & McCann, 2010). even though the words are now different, the idea still has to be cited.

Then you write your understanding of the material. Some terminology may be the same, but it represents your understanding of the content.
a source, depending on the format you use (APA, MLA, etc.), and the structure of your sentence. In psychology we use APA formatting.

Use quotations when: • You want to add the power of an author’s words to support your argument • You want to disagree with an author’s argument • You want to highlight particularly eloquent or powerful phrases or passages • You are comparing and contrasting specific points of view • You want to note the important research that precedes your own Carol Rohrbach and Joyce Valenza
help you avoid plagiarism, however, filling your term paper or research paper with quotations does not indicate an understanding of the content. A general rule of thumb for using quotations is that you should only quote statements that are so profound they will lose their impact if you change the wording.
have a dream…..” wouldn’t be the same if you paraphrased it. General definitions, the findings of studies, etc. should be paraphrased or interpreted, not quoted. The best scenario when quoting is to use a very short (4 or 5 lines maximum) quote, and then write the rest of the content in your own words.
or several writers into your own words, including only the main point(s). Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material. Again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to their original sources. Summarize when: • You want to establish background or offer an overview of a topic • You want to describe knowledge (from several sources) about a topic • You want to determine the main ideas of a single source Carol Rohrbach and Joyce Valenza
