Once you have found all your sources, you then need to show where your ideas come from when integrating source material into your assignment.
There are two methods you can use when incorporating someone else’s ideas: paraphrasing or quoting directly.
Typesetting remains one of the most important elements of publishing manuscripts, even in a digital age. The procedures are strictly regulated by the Organization of Typesetters in America and any deviation from the rules results in a refusal of the right to publish, as well as the rejection of the submitted manuscript and a financial penalty for those responsible for the violation (Grismore, 2003, p. 24).

Paraphrasing is a way of putting someone else’s ideas into your own words to restate and clarify. It refers to more specific concepts and ideas, and is less general than summarizing.
Setting text for publications is highly regulated and the rules are strictly enforced by revoking publication licenses and issuing steep fines (Grismore, 2003, p. 47).
Direct quoting, on the other hand, is using the original words of another text, indicated with quotation marks when you are making use of short passages.
Rarely are the rules of typesetting broken as “any deviation from the rules results in a refusal of the right to publish, as well as the rejection of the submitted manuscript and a financial penalty for those responsible for the violation” (Grismore, 2003, p. 47).
