Not just that the ideas aren't yours, but whose they are. This is academic courtesy among other things. | |

I'm just struggling to understand why my proposed way wouldn't be appropriate. The point is to credit the source, which I do, and I leave no doubt that none of the text was my original idea. Is this just a pointless formality, or is there a deeper reason as to why this is improper that I'm missing? | |

| May 31, 2021 at 19:34 | comment | added | imf2213 | What do you mean by "cite each source explicitly"? I would explicitly state the page in the source from which almost everything in the section is paraphrased at the beginning of the section. Then, after every sentence that is not paraphrased from that source, I would cite the respective other source. Is there no way to cite more than one consecutive sentence from the same source without putting a citation after every single sentence? | |
