    Quoting involves directly copying text word for word. Paraphrasing puts an author's ideas into one's own words while avoiding plagiarism by not including too many words from the original. Summarizing uses one's own words to extract the key points or main arguments of a text while significantly reducing its length. The difference is that paraphrasing focuses on restating content in a different form, while summarizing condenses source material into a shorter version.

    What are they and what is the difference?

    Quoting: When you copy directly from a text word for word. 

    Paraphrasing (from the Greek ‘paraphrasis,’ meaning literally ‘to tell in other words.’):
    When you put the ideas of another author into your own words. To avoid plagiarism when
    paraphrasing, it is essential that you do not include too many words from the original text.

    Summarising: When you use your own words to draw out the key points or main
    arguments of the original text, significantly reducing its length.

    What’s the difference?


    Paraphrasing and summarising are similar but differ in their objectives.
    The purpose of a summary is to condense source material into a shorter form. Paraphrasing,
    however, is not about how long it is but resaying what is being said but in different form
    than the original.
