Problem: Javonte is starting the research for his paper on nuclear arms treaties. He's tempted to just copy and paste chunks of material from the originals, but instead, he decides to paraphrase in addition to selective quoting. Why is this a good idea? He will have the gist of each author's ideas on paper, already understood and in his own words. • There is no good reason. He should just copy the original quotes into his notes. • He can use the authors ideas without citation if he's not quoting him or her directly. He can leave out complex terminology from the original that he would have to define for his readers.
