What methods can you use to integrate sources into your work?
1. Quoting directly: Use the author's exact words and enclose them in quotation marks to show that they are not your own words.
2. Paraphrasing: Restate the author's ideas in your own words while still giving credit to the original source.
3. Summarizing: Condense the main points of the source into a shorter form, providing an overview of the key ideas without using direct quotes.
4. Integrating with your own ideas: Blend the source material seamlessly with your own thoughts and analysis to create a cohesive argument or discussion.
5. Citing: Include proper citations in your work to acknowledge the sources you used. This can be done using in-text citations, footnotes, or endnotes, depending on the citation style required (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.).
