Today we are learning about Harvard referencing, this is a systematic way to find books, websites and images a lot faster and easier as all the information is their for you. I will be using Harvard referencing to support my research in the future.

What is paraphrasing?

Paraphrasing is taking the words of the original source normally your reading or reference material e.g. a Journal or academic text and restating them, using your own vocabulary. In this way, you keep the meaning of the original text, but do not copy its exact wording.

What strategies can I use to paraphrase?

You can:

Change the structure of the sentence

Use synonyms for all words that are not generic.

Change the voice from active to passive and vice versa.

Change clauses to phrases and vice and versa.

Change parts of speech.

  A good paraphrase will combine a number of strategies; the goal is to rephrase the information so that it appears in your words, not those of the original author.
