To guard against the possibility of unintentional plagiarism during research and writing, it is important to keep careful notes that always distinguish three types of material: Your ideas and your summaries/paraphrases.
What is the third?
Exact wording you copy from sources.
Suppose, for example, you want to use material from a well-known book for your research paper.
