Integrating sources

Limit your use of quotations:

When to use Quotations:
-when language is especially vivid or expressived
-when exact wording is needed for technical accuracy
-when it is important to let the debaters of an issue explain their positions in their own words
-when the words of an important authority lend weight to an arguement
-when language of a source is the topic of your discussion(as in an analysis or interpretation)

Using the ellipsis mark and brackets- used to condense a quoted passage, (three periods with spaces in between)- indicating that you have ommitted words.
