Hello..

Welcome to Syafa’s blog.

I hope you all in a good and fine day…In this week I quite busy because I have a lot of assessment that need to submit in week 9 and 10.. ohh.. 1 more thing in this week also we have midterm examination for all ICT subject. So what I want to share in this week is still about citation.. As already mention in last week.. In this week I will continue about APA citation.. Here I put my own note that I summarize from my lecture’s slide show.. Hope you enjoy it.

1. What is paraphrasing? 

• Paraphrasing  involves putting a passage from source material into our own words.
• Attribute paraphrases to their original sources.
• Paraphrases are usually shorter than, but may be the same length as the original passage.
• Paraphrases take a more focused segment of the source and condense it slightly.
• Use our own words.
• Keep all the details of the original.
• Cite the source and the date.
• Do NOT use quotation marks

• Summarizing is when we put the main idea(s) into our own words, including only the main point(s).
• Summarized ideas must be attributed to the original source.
• Summaries are significantly shorter than the original.
• Summaries take a broad overview of source material.
• Instead of using many direct quotations in an essay, it is better to paraphrase and summarize our sources whenever possible.
• Use our own words.
• Do not use quotation marks.
• State only the most important idea or fact.
• Use as few words as possible

1. What is quoting? 

• Quoting use the author's words exactly.
• Use quotation marks only for short quotations.
• If our quotation has more than 40 words do not use quotation marks. Indent quotations of more than 40 words.
• Quotations must be identical to the original.
• Quotations use a narrow segment of the source.
• They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author.
• Use quotes when the actual words are so integral to the discussion that they cannot be replaced.
• Use quotes when the author’s words are so precisely and accurately stated that they cannot be paraphrased.

SIGNAL PHRASES AND IN-TEXT CITATIONS

 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.

 In-text citations are the parenthetical pieces of information that appear usually at the end of a quote, paraphrase, or summary (though they sometimes appear before).

 A simple rule:  Author or Title, Year, and Page: what isn’t signaled up front must be cited at the end.

Summarize of Why source integration?

Quotations – must be identical to the original.

Paraphrases – involved putting a passage from sources material into your own words 

Summaries – put the main idea into your own words. Including only the main point

Single phrases – introduction someone else’s work

In-text citations – are the parenthetical pieces of information that appear usually at the end of a quote,paraphrase, or summary (though they sometimes appear before).
