APA Basics Workshop: Research Writing
Integrating Sources Without
Plagiarizing
Why include outside sources?
-They support your argument.
-They provide background information.
-They explain terms and concepts.
-They lend authority and credibility to your
argument.
from Diana Hacker’s Bedford Handbook
Integrating Sources: In-text Citations
When integrating research, you must cite your sources in
the text of your paper and on your reference page.
In-text citations
Why do we use them?
1. To give credit to the author.
2. Readers can access the original source if they’re
interested.
3. Readers can see where your ideas leave off and
another source’s ideas begin.
Incorporating Research: Paraphrasing
and Summarizing
Summarizing
--for longer sources
--to restate the meaning the author is trying to convey
--must give credit to the source
Paraphrasing
--short sections of sources
--about the same number of words
--your own words and own structure—not mixed with author’s words
Directly Quoting
--use sparingly
--word for word
--quotation marks or block quotes
From Diana Hacker’s Bedford Handbook
When paraphrasing and summarizing…
• Don’t look at the source!
• Include signal phrases when needed.
• Cite in-text.
• Cite on Reference Page.
Paraphrasing Examples
“The attitudes that any person, especially an author,
takes toward the world may change with the passing
from adolescence to adulthood to old age. So also may
the author’s means of expressing attitudes and
judgments” (Arp & Johnson, 2010, p. 9).
Is the following example correctly paraphrased?
The outlooks that any person, especially authors, have
change with passing from youths to adults to elderly. The
author’s means of expressing attitudes and judgments
change, too (Arp & Johnson, 2010).
When you paraphrase…
 Do not simply change a few words here and there.
 Change the structure and wording.
 Use roughly the same number of words to express the
same meaning as the source, but they must be your own
words.
 Do not borrow the language from the source unless it’s
really necessary. If you do, put quotation marks around
the borrowed words.
Paraphrasing Continued…
“The attitudes that any person, especially an author,
takes toward the world may change with the passing from
adolescence to adulthood to old age. So also may the
author’s means of expressing attitudes and judgments”
(Arp & Johnson, 2010, p.9).
Correct Paraphrase:
As authors age and enter each stage of life, their
perspectives on the world change. Not only do their
perspectives change, but also the way in which they
express and absorb these outlooks change (Arp &
Johnson, 2010, p.9).
Summarizing
Read the entire source.
Focus on paragraphs or passages you’d like to
summarize if you’re not summarizing the
entire source.
Re-read the passages you want to summarize.
Put the source away.
In a few sentences, write a summary of the
main ideas.
