Tutorial

Paraphrasing Guidelines

Source: The Office of Research Integrity &

 "Avoiding plagiarism, self-plagiarism, and other questionable writing practices: A guide to ethical writing" by Miguel Roig.

Guideline 1 An ethical writer ALWAYS acknowledges the contributions of others to his/her work.
Guideline 2 Any verbatim text taken from another source must be enclosed in quotation marks and be accompanied by a citation to indicate its origin.
Guideline 3 When we summarize others’ work, we use our own words to condense and convey others’ contributions in a shorter version of the original.
Guideline 4  When paraphrasing others’ work, not only must we use our own words, but we must also use our own syntactical structure.
Guideline 5 Whether we are paraphrasing or summarizing we must always identify the source of our information.
Guideline 6 When paraphrasing and/or summarizing others’ work we must reproduce the exact meaning of the other author’s ideas or facts using our words and sentence structure.
Guideline 7  In order to be able to make the types of substantial modifications to the original text that result in a proper paraphrase, one must have a thorough command of the language and a good understanding of the ideas and terminology being used.
Guideline 8 When in doubt as to whether a concept or fact is common knowledge, provide a citation.
