FIRST PRINCIPLE: Use sources as concisely as possible, so your own thinking isn’t crowded out by your presentation of other people’s thinking, or your own voice by your quoting of other voices.
- Summarize
- Paraphrase
- Quote
SECOND PRINCIPLE: Never leave your reader in doubt as to when you are speaking and when you are using materials from a source.
THIRD PRINCIPLE: Always make clear how each source you introduce into your paper relates to your argument.
*Rule: mention the nature or professional status of your source if it’s distinctive.
