In addition to using correct documentation, you must be careful to ensure that you present the information from your sources as accurately as possible. Omitting words from quotations in such a way that the source's meaning is altered is unacceptable; omitting information in paraphrases and summaries that alters the source's meaning is unacceptable; and offering an inaccurate interpretation of your source in a paraphrase or summary is unacceptable. If the source's words or meaning do not support your argument as fully as you might like, find another source that does. |
