Writing Tips
When and how to use paraphrasing
Use it to understand complex text
If a passage is hard to understand, paraphrasing it forces you to engage with the meaning — which is exactly what deepens comprehension and helps the content stick in memory.
Always cite, even when paraphrasing
Paraphrasing is not the same as avoiding attribution. You still need to cite the original source whenever you use someone else's idea — even if you've completely reworded it.
Use it to simplify technical writing
Dense academic or technical prose can be difficult to read. Paraphrasing in simpler language makes your writing more accessible and easier for your reader to engage with.
