something directly (word for word) from the
information source. Quotations must be attributed to
the original author.

The first paragraph of your research paper says:
Tattoos and body piercings are becoming more and morecommonplace. In fact, if you are standing on a city corner inany city in the United States, you are likely to see a lot of
tattoos and body piercings on people walking by. Accordingto an article found in the USA Today Magazine, body art isgoing mainstream and growing in popularity, especiallyamong young people. (USA Today Magazine, April 2006,
page 10).

policy has changed. A significant percentage ofyounger generation employees have tattoos or otherbody marks. (USA Today, April 2006, page 10)
Notice that youve put the thoughts from the originalsnippet into your own words. Using the same wordsand phrases and just rearranging them is plagiarismand a serious offense.

Summarizing means to restate the main points of a
source in your own words. Again, you must cite the
source. When you summarize you condense theinformation source into a few sentences.
