Ethical paraphrasing for students and professionals
Paraphrasing helps you express an idea in your own words while preserving meaning. It is appropriate for avoiding repetition in your own writing or simplifying dense source material. It is not appropriate for submitting someone else's work as yours.
Use paraphrase output as a starting point. Add your analysis, cite the original source and restructure arguments to reflect your understanding. Academic integrity policies vary, when in doubt, ask your instructor.
