Summary At the end of the paper a bibliography should be written for it not to be considered a infringement of the law Summarize when you want to wrap up the main ideas of something You summarize by: Including main points It is not necessary to follow the same order The length should be much shorter Take four steps: 1. include all main ideas 2. arrange the points and try to use non of the authors words or the order 3. make sure to wrap up all the points 4. finally cite all sources Paraphrase
 * __Ex:__** Copyright / Author / Domain / Date (If a website doesn’t have this parameters is probably fake information).
 * __ In-text citations __**

Make sure that you have the all main ideas Example: Since yesterday at evening, when an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 hit the island of Sumatra, 529 people have been reported dead. During the last 24 hours the port city Padang, Indonesia, located in the island of Sumatra has been in chaos. There have been multiple deaths and missing people although rescuers and firemen have done everything in their power to help these people.

Retrieved from [|http://www.nytimes.com] For both summaries and paraphrases: Cite the sources and at the end put (author last name, date: year) a. if there is no date you put (author’s last name, no date) b. if there is no author you put (name of web page, year) Quotations This information was copied from · They are used to make an impacting beginning on a essay · To add credibility to you writings · Make the essay more interesting · Close and essay with an open ending · To make people see from where you took the information How to cite them:
 * Put important ideas but not in the same order
 * Keep the same length
 * Don´t put any different idea
 * Never put own thought or opinions other than the ones of the author
 * Change the original sentence structure

If you are directly quoting from a work, you will need to include the author, year of publication, and the page number for the reference (preceded by "p."). Introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes the author's last name followed by the date of publication in parentheses. According to Jones (1998), "Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time" (p. 199). Jones (1998) found "students often had difficulty using APA style" (p. 199); what implications does this have for teachers? If the author is not named in a signal phrase, place the author's last name, the year of publication, and the page number in parentheses after the quotation. She stated, "Students often had difficulty using APA style," but she did not offer an explanation as to why (Jones, 1998, p. 199). //Information was exactly copied from// //[]//
 * Short Quotations:**

Long Quotations (more than 40 words)
Place direct quotations longer than 40 words in a free-standing block of typewritten lines, and omit quotation marks. Start the quotation on a new line, indented five spaces from the left margin. Type the entire quotation on the new margin, and indent the first line of any subsequent paragraph within the quotation five spaces from the new margin. Maintain double-spacing throughout. The parenthetical citation should come after the closing punctuation mark. Jones's (1998) study found the following: Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time citing sources. This difficulty could be attributed to the fact that many students failed to purchase a style manual or to ask their teacher for help. (p. 199) //Information was exactly copied from// //[]// Bibliography The bibliography should be differently depending on the source. Reference Lists should go on a different page, alphabetize references by last name and must be double spaced. The Reference List title must be centered. Last name, A. A., & Last name, B. B.
