Glossary
Paraphrase - is putting another person’s ideas into one’s own words using one’s
own sentence structure and style of writing. A paraphrase
simplifies a selection; it does not necessarily shorten it. It can
be longer than the original source.
Plagiarism - is the uncredited use, either intentional and unintentional, of
somebody else's words or ideas.
Quotation - uses the writer's actual words that support your argument. It is
enclosed with quotation marks depending on the number of
lines of the quotation.
Summary - is shorter than the original source but contains the main points
of the author. It is an overview of the source material.
