week 8

CITATION & DOCUMENTATION INFORMATION SOURCE:

• Provide support for claims or add credibility to your writing.

• Refer to work that leads up to the work you are now doing.

Summarizing: we use own word to summarize a text and we have to be brief and take note for key words  and we have to avoid using the author words.

.

 Paraphrasing: when we paraphrase we are trying to rewrite the author text by using our own word and we have to state only the important things such as ideas or facts.

Quoting:
we can define it as using  the author's words exactly or using quotation marks and only for short quotation, it must be identical to the original.

Example : Olweus (1999) says that "Many studies have shown that both children and adults behave more aggressively after having observed someone else, a ‘model’ acting aggressively" (p. 43). 

Signal Phrases and In-Text Citation:

—Signal phrases: introduce someone else’s work – they signal that the words and ideas that are about to be offered belong to someone other than the author of the paper.

Example: in text citation

. . . end of paraphrased sentence, in which you convey the author's ideas in your own words (Krepp, 1985, p. 103).

" . . . end of quoted sentence" (Krepp, 1985, p. 103).
