Read the information thoroughly so you fully understand what's being said by the author.
Paraphrase the original work, using your own words. Avoid changing only one or two words and directly quoting the rest as that is still plagiarism.
Write the informational statement, giving credit to the original author. For example, if Jane Doe discusses wearing clean clothes, you would say, "According to Jane Doe, changing your clothes daily is important."
Provide the information for your readers to find the original information when possible. For example, if Jane Doe wrote a study about clean clothes, and this is where you learned the information, you would say, "According to Jane Doe's study, "The Impact of Wearing Clean Clothes", changing your clothes daily is important. (Doe, 1982)"
