Quotations borrow the exact words from an original source to support an idea or argument. When adding a quotation to your text, identify the author and publication clearly and state your intention to use it. Include the quote in quotation marks, without any changes to the text. For instance, write: "As Smith said in his 1996 book, The Environment and Our Youth:'The habits of young people will dictate hope our planet fares in the future.'" All of the main citation systems require you to attribute ideas to their original source as soon as you feature them in the text. The specific procedure to do this varies between styles but should always be done to avoid plagiarism. Follow the rules of your chosen style to make the in-text citation by including:   The author’s name and page number of the material quoted, in parentheses after you refer to it. The author’s name and the date that the work was published. Superscript numbers next to the idea that was paraphrased, summarized, or quoted. Be vigilant about rewriting ideas taken from a section of source material so that your attempt at paraphrasing isn't actually plagiarism. Paraphrasing should restate the author's message in your voice, putting it into the context of your own text. Be sure to alter:  The way the sentences are constructed in the source text. The source's vocabulary, by swapping as many words as possible with synonyms. The tone of the writing so that it is clear that you are writing in your own words. To summarize a source text, identify the main ideas communicated in it and describe them efficiently. A summarization should be no more than 1/10 as long as the original text. Include the author, year, and title of the work. Do not use quotation marks to summarize source material. To be safe, credit every source you’ve consulted for your writing, even if it is unclear how much your writing has borrowed from it. This will eliminate the risk of unknowingly plagiarizing someone’s work. It will also show that you are conscious of where you own ideas are coming from, which will strengthen your text. For example, if you state something like, “environmental studies is arguably the most pressing subject for young students to learn about”, you should cite an article you read about that topic the week before which makes the same argument. An organized method of writing with help you avoid errors that might lead to plagiarizing. As you write the first draft of your text, add in-text citations right away so you don’t lose track of the works you’ve cited. Start compiling a “works cited” page right away that you can edit later. Citing sources right away will remove the stress of having to organize your references at the end of your writing process, which may make it stressful to meet your deadline. Citing a source does not simply involve re-wording their work but comprehending it thoroughly and explaining it. Take the time to read and re-read your sources if necessary, then to explain their ideas in your own words. Your reference to the text should be placing it in the context of your own writing, not reiterating it as it was originally stated.
