Summary -- the desired form of citation because it
demonstrates true understanding of a large portion, if not the entirety, of
the original text; summarizing was identified by the researchers when student
writers restated in their own terms the source material and compressed by at

summary. “That's the stunning part, I think:
91 percent are citations to material that isn't composing,” said Jamieson.
“They don't digest the ideas in the material cited and put it in their own
words.” |
