Some students do not fully understand the difference between plagiarism and paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is when you take a source or someone else’s idea and say it in your own words. When you paraphrase, you must still give the author’s name, date, title of the source, the scholarly journal from where it came, and the exact website address or book from where it came. However, when you directly quote a source, it must have quotation marks around the quote, or (if 40 words or more) it must be set in block quotation format. Give detailed information of where you acquired the quote.

For the purpose of this academic paper, adhere to the following rules when quoting or using a source:

• Do not directly quote more than 120 words from any 1 source.

• If the source is 2,000 words or less, do not directly quote more than 50 words from it.

• Do not use the same source more than a total of 3 times within the whole document for quoting or paraphrasing.

• Quotes must contain the section (if provided) and paragraph or page numbers of the quote and this information must be placed in the reference.

• In all instances, use current APA guidelines for citations and references.
