..but what about in text referencing and paraphrasing?
Information Services and Systems
Two main ways of citing information in your writing:
• Author’s surname, (year), what the author states or considers.
• Summary of author’s findings, views or conclusions, followed by author’s surname and year in brackets.
What does referencing involve?
Information Services and Systems
For example:• Brown (2012) claims that a far more effective
approach is...• Brown (2012) points out that a far more
effective approach is...• A far more effective approach is... (Brown,
2012)

Information Services and Systems
Paraphrasing
Use paraphrase and summary to acknowledge another author's ideas. You can extract and summarise important points, while at the same time making it clear from whom and where you have got the ideas you are discussing and what your point of view is.
Information Services and Systems
Paraphrasing
A good paraphrase must be:• original• accurate• grammatically correct• referenced properly
Information Services and Systems
Paraphrasing
1. Read the source2. Make notes of the main points3. Write in your own words4. Check against article for accuracy5. Redraft using appropriate academic
style, vocabulary and structure.6. Cite the source
Information Services and Systems
Consider:“attempts to measure dignity will not be straightforward” (Gallagher, 2011, p. 1).
Paraphrase:• It is difficult to measure dignity
(Gallagher, 2011) • According to Gallagher (2011), the
measurement of dignity is complex.
Paraphrasing
Information Services and Systems
Macklin (2003, p. 1) described dignity as “a useless concept arguing that autonomy was the more useful and necessary value.”
Paraphrase: • Macklin (2003) claims that the term
dignity is unhelpful and that it is far better to use a term such as autonomy.
Paraphrasing

Macklin (2003, p. 1) described dignity as “a useless concept arguing that autonomy was the more useful and necessary value”.Paraphrase showing opinion:
• The term dignity is unhelpful, it is far better to use a word such as autonomy (Macklin, 2003)
Paraphrasing
And:
Information Services and Systems
You MUST use page numbers and quotation marks in text if you are directly quoting from the source. Not acknowledging others work is classed as PLAGIARISM!
