There are three levels to integrate a text from a source. The
first level is quoting, the second level is paraphrasing and the last level is
summarizing.
Summarizing
When we are summarizing, we put the main idea in our own word
which include only the main point. We do not need to use quotation mark during
summarizing, instead, use our own word, state only the most important idea or
fact and used as few word as possible. We also have to attribute it to the
original source.
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing also involves putting a passage from source
material in your own words. It can be shorter than the original passage but can
also be the same length as the original passage. However, you have to site the
source and the date, and do not use quotation mark during paraphrasing.
Quoting
On the other hand, you can also quote the original passage
where you can use the author’s word exactly. You have to use quotation mark for
less than 40 words. There are some format that you may need to follow in order
for you to quote the information. For example, give the year of publication in
parentheses after the writer’s name and the page number at the end of the
quotation, or the writer's name, year of publication, page number in
parentheses at the end of the quotation. Don’t forget to put a period after the
parentheses.
