Getting Started
Like learning a
new citation style, learning to paraphrase takes a little time and
practice.
-
You must be careful to keep the original
meaning of the text without using the same words.
-
If you decide to use a phrase from the
text, be sure to put quotation marks around it, to show that it is
another author's choice of words, not yours.
-
Even though you have paraphrased (that
is, used different words), you should still cite your source to show
that you are using someone else's ideas.
And be patient
with yourself. You will get the hang of it, but not without some
effort!
