First, there are three common citation methods: direct citation, explanation and summary.
1, directly quoted, and the different characters will not be changed. According to the length of the quotation, it is divided into short sentences and written directly in the paragraph. If it is too long, a separate paragraph should be listed. This situation will generally be dyed red by HowNet, and it is not recommended to use it too much.
2, interpretation, that is to say, you have to translate the literature freely, but you have to say it in your own words, not just change a few words or change the order. This is plagiarism, and the interpretation is generally similar to the length of the original text. In most cases, HowNet will not mark its content in red. However, interpretation is actually a test of basic skills. If you can't do it, you can quote directly instead, which is safer, but the quality of the paper is not high.
3. summary. Generally speaking, it is necessary to briefly summarize the contents of several pages of literature, and it is not necessary to quote the original text too much, but to summarize its meaning. Sometimes a book can even be summarized in one or two sentences. In this case, hownet's reference to you will not be marked in red, which is also the most recommended way.
