- Also include seminal or landmark works if they are relevant in shaping your study
- Use linking words such as the following: similarly, in addition, also, again, more importantly, however, on the other hand, conversely, nevertheless
- Avoid using. Wilson (1990) says ......but instead uses an appropriate verb which more accurately reflects the authors' viewpoint, such as "argues", "claims", or "states".
- Quotes are used to emphasize a point or if what the author said cannot be rewritten in your own words.
- Sometimes quotes are used to quote terms coined by the author.
- When paraphrasing a source that is not your own, be sure to represent the author's message or viewpoint accurately in your own words.
- Keeping your own voice - Even though you are presenting the views of others, you should maintain your own voice by starting and ending a paragraph with your own words.
