9. Ways to Avoid Plagiarism –Summary, Paraphrase,
Quote,Reference
Summary - A summary is a condensed version of the original text that highlights the main or
key ideas in YOUR own words. So, if you were going to summarise a chapter, it might be a
page.If you were going to summarize a paragraph, it might be a couple of lines.
Paraphrase -So you have found information that is perfect for your research paper. Read it
and put it into your own words.
Quote - When quoting a source, use the quote exactly the way it appears. According to Smith
(2013) information technology has rapidly.
Reference - Correct referencing techniques require that you acknowledge the source of your
information in two places: in the text of your writing at the point where you use someone else's
ideas or information (known as in text referencing or 'citing') e.g. in a list at the end of your
assignment (known as a reference list). Don’t leave it to the end - create your list of references
as you do your work
