All material that is directly quoted: even primary sources. Any ideas or arguments provided by other scholars: even if the work is paraphrased. Any facts that are not general knowledge : i. e. It"s always better to err on the side of caution. Record all bibliographic information before you begin to examine a source. For all notes taken on a text, clearly indicate author, text, and page references. Place all direct quotations inside quotation marks when adjusting a quote. As you paraphrase, ensure that you do not borrow syntax or phraseology from the original text. What you cannot put into your own words, put in quotation marks. Keep your quotations short: try not to record passages too lengthy to be used as quotations in your essay. When you quote an author, smoothly introduce the quotation into the body of your work. When you first mention an author, write down the full name; thereafter, use only the surname.
