expressed every concept or thought that which is mentioned in your
text.

in quotation mattes.

your own words. It is not enough simply to change the word order or
to substitute one or two words only.

language. Do not repeat the author's own words without placing them
in quotation marks.

you must still quote the source, even though you then do not have to
use quotation marks.

be used as you go along and not think that you will be able to do the
citations at the last minute, as you are bound to lose track of some of
the things you have read.
