How to Reference Paraphrasing?

Paraphrasing in a simple sense denotes rephrasing the already published literature or knowledge base in own sentences just in order to avoid unethical behaviour or plagiarism or copying others’ work and claiming it as work of own self. So, paraphrasing is a minimum requirement under any academic or research work where the work of another person or people or author is to be referred or consulted to in order to portray or prove a thought under any specific academic or research work carried out by any researcher or academic writer. It is to be specifically noted over here that the present research work aims at demonstrating the specific process and methods of referencing paraphrasing which is a minimum requirement under any academic or research work.

But is to be specifically noted here that in order to better understand the process and methods of referencing any paraphrased work, one must have to generate an inherent knowledge concerning the concepts of “plagiarism”, “paraphrasing”, “common knowledge” and “citations.” This inherent knowledge base development would even allow a lame man to properly understand the complexity involved in referencing a paraphrasing work that is a work which is not at all original but is duly taken from any work or pre-published material written and communicated by any other author, researchers, academic writers or even by other pre-published data sources such as statutory or company or organisational websites, magazines, blogs and many other pre-published materials.

The first eminent concept which is to be inherently noted in this context is the concept of “plagiarism.” Plagiarism in the truest sense denotes the unauthorised use of others’ work without their permission and later claiming such work done by oneself. Plagiarism thus occurs when someone uses others’ work or developed literature base or even words without giving them proper and due credit for that. For instance, plagiarism occurs when any new researcher copies the work of any previous researcher from his published journal or article and does not paraphrase or reference it that is not acknowledging that the work carried out by the present researcher is the work of someone else who has already provided such knowledgebase. This is how the work gets deemed to be copied because no due credit is provided to any previous researcher and hence a new audience would understand that the work has been carried out by the new researcher by himself alone. It is to be noted that the golden rule for avoiding the unethical issue of plagiarism a new researcher or any academic assistant must not copy the work of any other people or researcher or author and will have to carry out a paraphrase in his own words and later a due credit is to be provided to the author of the document or source from where the information has been paraphrased and use throughout the research or academic writing thereby acknowledging as well as providing due credit to the author and source of the information used throughout the research work or academic study or assignment. The second most eminent concept that any new audience must be accustomed to is the concept of “paraphrasing.” Paraphrasing in the truest sense denotes the conversion of any ideas or thoughts which is already generated and documented by any other person such as a researcher, author, academic writer or any person contributing to any literary source into the own words of a new author, researcher or any academic writer just in order to avoid the unethical issue of “plagiarism” which is strictly said to be avoided by the university or higher education boards and ethics committees. Here, it should be specifically noted that under the holistic term of paraphrasing, a researcher or an academic writer must not copy the words or thoughts in an end-to-end format and should relate the whole knowledge base and literary work in his own words and writing and at the same time must provide due credit to the source of the document or knowledge base through proper referencing and citations.

This is where the third most eminent concept of the “citation” comes into the picture, especially vital for those availing Academic Writing Services, and hence is required to be understood in detail in order to decipher the different ways and processes to reference a paraphrasing or a paraphrased piece of work. Citation in the truest sense demonstrates the way of acknowledging the authors or sources of information which have been used by any new researcher or academic writer from the existing works or knowledge base which have already been published in some public domain. So, citation here relates to the acknowledgement of the common knowledge base used by many new academic writers or new researchers. So, as mentioned earlier, citations are an eminent way along with paraphrasing which can effectively allow a new researcher or new academic writer to avoid the unethical issue of plagiarism. Finally, common knowledge in a simple sense demonstrates the bases of knowledge that can be easily accessed by millions all around the world which can also be referenced just in order to acknowledge the source and to avoid plagiarism. Now, after a thorough understanding of all the eminent terms related to paraphrasing and referencing it will be easier for even a lame man to understand the various processes and methods of referencing a paraphrasing. It is to be noted here that there are numerous ways, styles or processes to reference a paraphrasing item. However, the most commonly used processes or styles are “Harvard”, “APA”, “MLA”, “ACS”, “Vancouver”, “Chicago” or “Turabian” and many more. It is also to be noted that there are many different sources which can be referenced namely websites, PDFs, journals, books, articles and many more. It is to be noted that there are certainly common knowledge bases or libraries where there are many different journals or articles that are present concerning different specialisations and topics namely “Google Scholar” and other libraries.

Utilizing a paraphrasing tool can aid in this process.
