Document Summary
Research is a collective effort amongst many, not a solitary act. Every time an author writes a book or piece, he has to understand his audience and develop a relationship or role to the audience. Have to recognize reader"s role- three reasons: to entertain them, to help them solve a problem, or to increase their knowledge on the subject. Each of these roles will influence the way your go about writing your research. Summarize when details are irrelevant or a source isn"t important enough to warrant much space. Paraphrase when you can state what a source says more clearly or concisely or when you argument depends on the details in a source but not on its specific words. Quote when the words themselves are evidence that backs up your reasons, the words are from an authority who backs up your claims, the words are strikingly original, disagreeing with passage. 4 lines or less- with quotation marks.
