IV. Generalization
A paraphrase is
own rendition of essential information and ideas expressed by someone else,
presented in a new form.
one legitimate way (when accompanied by accurate documentation) to borrow
from a source.
a more detailed restatement than a summary, which focuses concisely on a
single main idea
using your own words to express someone else's message or ideas.
In a paraphrase, the ideas and meaning of the original source must be maintained; the
main ideas need to come through, but the wording has to be your own.
Ways to paraphrase
Read the original two or three times or until you are sure you understand it.
Put the original aside and try to write the main ideas in your own words. Say
what the source says, but no more, and try to reproduce the source's order of
ideas and emphasis.
Look closely at unfamiliar words, observing carefully the exact sense in which
the writer uses the words.
Check your paraphrase, as often as needed, against the original for accurate
tone and meaning, changing any words or phrases that match the original too
closely. If the wording of the paraphrase is too close to the wording of the
original, then it is plagiarism.
Include a citation for the source of the information (including the page
numbers) so that you can cite the source accurately. Even when you
paraphrase, you must still give credit to the original author.
