Which statement describes a strategy for avoiding plagiarism when compiling quotes for a research paper

explanation:

ways to avoid plagiarism:

1) print everything! often times a student will find excellent information on the web site, but he/she  will forget to print it. later, the student might want to use this information, but he/she  may not find it again online. this can be frustrating, and students might be tempted to use whatever information they can remember, without citing it. students can simply avoid this by printing every online document they find useful.

2) photocopy everything! students often times  make the mistake of photocopying  only the pages where they find interesting  quotes, and they forget to photocopy the  title page  of the book/article where the  title and author are listed. be detailed and photocopy all information you will need to later cite the source properly.

for most works of literature, the information you will need to cite includes:

author—creator or compiler of the information; for web sites this may be the webmaster or the owning organization.

title—title of the document; for web sites this is usually found at the top of the web page.

publisher--the person or organization responsible for the material.

day, month, year—date published; for web sites this would be the date that the web page was put online; should be the same as the "last updated" date if available.

access date—for web sites only, this is the date you viewed the web page or accessed the information.

site/path/file—for web sites only, this is the address or url (uniform resource locator) of the web site.

quoting, paraphrasing, & summarizing:

must be identical to the original, using a narrow segment of the source. they must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author.

involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. a paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broad segment of the source and condensing it slightly.

involve putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original source. summaries are  significantly shorter  than a paraphrase because summaries take a broader overview of the source material.
