Separating referenced text from own text, a simple example

Question

Consider this example:

According to XYZ [1], this is referenced text. This is is also referenced text. Now this is my text in the same paragraph.

It does not tell where the referenced text ends and where my text starts. I understand I can place reference number at the end of line, but is there any other way, like in above example?

Answer 1

You can simply restructure. You can also employ suitable use of quotes instead of paraphrasing. Or break the paragraph before your own text.

For example,

in XYX we learn this is referenced text. This is is also referenced text.[1] Now this is my text in the same paragraph.

Or

According to XYZ [1], this is referenced text. This is is also referenced text.

Now this is my text in a new paragraph.

Or, set off the referenced text in its own paragraph entirely. Or use quoted text, not paraphrased and use formal quote marks.

Or, use a distinguished font for the referenced text. Or, ...

Answer 2

If I get your question, because I am not sure, you want to quote what XXX ref# said. This is done by "quoting".

Else the reader interprets all the the text as your own, and the reference just a justification for it.
