Paraphrase
Definition
Restating someone else's ideas in your own words while maintaining the original meaning. Paraphrasing still requires a citation because the idea belongs to the original author, even though the wording is different.
Example
Original: "Climate change poses an existential threat." Paraphrase: Rising global temperatures present a serious risk to human survival (Smith, 2024).Related Terms
