Quoting and Paraphrasing

Quoting and paraphrasing are two methods through which we refer to other people's ideas in our work. We use these to give credit to those who developed the ideas we are using within our research. Citing is also a way to give evidence of the investigation undertaken. When you evaluate someone else's work, or when you compare and contrast arguments from different authors, you are demonstrating that multiple sources have been reviewed and evaluated within the course of your project.
