Original Version
“Because building on the work of others is
one of the defining characteristics of
academic writing, academic writers have
developed standard systems that clearly
identify where specific ideas came from,
and that direct other interested persons
to these same sources.” (Taylor, 2003, p.
186)
Poor Paraphrase
Because working with the text of others is
one of the key characteristics of academic
writing, academic writers have created
standard systems that identify where key
ideas come from, and that point other
interested people to these same sources.
(Taylor, 2003, p. 186)
Better Paraphrase
Incorporating others’ ideas into academic
writing is part of what makes it different
from other writing; for this reason,
specific ways of citing sources have been
established to help readers to know where
ideas have come from and how to locate
original texts. (Taylor, 2003, p. 186)
Best Paraphrase
Academic writing follows established rules
and conventions for citing source material
so that authors can acknowledge their
intellectual debts to their peers and readers
can further research in the same field.
(Taylor, 2003, p. 186) Taylor considers this
reliance on other scholars to be a hallmark
of academic writing.
