Scholarly writing and plagiarism
Introduction
Paraphrasing is the way of using a text in personal writing without quoting source material
directly. In paraphrasing any time an information is taken one need to specify the origin of the
information. The aim of paraphrase is to represent an already recorded information in new and
summarized form. Paraphrasing develops some skill to the writer which helps him/her to curb
the temptation to quote and also improves the mental process required for successful
paraphrasing as the writer grasp the full meaning of the original information (Androutsopoulos &
Malakasiotis, 2010).
For a writer to gain effectiveness in paraphrasing he/she must reread original information and
gain comprehension of its meaning. After rereading a note card is generated and information
described in anew and understandable form. Some examples of paraphrasing include; legitimate,
an acceptable and plagiarized version. The ability to paraphrase can be said to be a skill of high
value to every person and it’s not that every writer has the capability to paraphrase properly
(Hirvela, 2013).
