Citation, Quoting,

Paraphrasing and
Summarizing
An in-text citation
❖ Is a short reference documentation which provides the readers with
any form of information that does not belong to you.
❖ It is also a way to recognize the original source of the material.
❖ Enclosed in parentheses, the source/author's last name, publication
year, and the page number when quoting are indicated.
Quoting
❖ Is lifting the original, word-for-word phrasing of your reference and
enclosing It in quotation marks ("") followed by citation.
❖ It is not advisable to quote lengthy texts, or to use quotations too often.
❖ When you use someone else's exact words, you have to make sure to
include a page number.
Example: The barista claims their coffee is "organically raised, ethically harvested, and
dark roasted to perfection" (Starbucks, 2020).
Paraphrasing
❖ Is rephrasing someone's writing or ideas into your own words. It is stating others'
Ideas in your own words.
❖ The meaning is not changed and the length remains more or less the same, although
the style of the language may change, such as from informal to formal. The source is
cited correctly as well.
❖ The page number is not required but include if it will help your reader locate the
relevant information.
Summarizing
❖ Is putting the main ideas of someone else's writing into your own words.
Page number is not required. It is condensing the main points of a lengthy
text.
❖ Unlike paraphrasing which focuses on a specific part of a text,
summarizing is done when the whole source is relevant but is too wordy
to Include in your research report as it is.
