Students are often told to use direct quotes when they feel the original author’s phrasing expresses the idea so well that no better expression can be found. This is good advice. Unfortunately, students who are uncomfortable with their own writing style are often inclined to over-use quotes on the theory that they cannot improve on the original author. The result can be a ‘Frankenstein’ paper that is little more than a string of quotes sewn together by a few transition sentences. Even if every quote is adequately cited, the overall paper will feel plagiarized since the student has not written anything new. Each field of study has specific guidelines about direct quotation. For instance, direct quotation is often discouraged in the sciences, which prefer paraphrasing. Students can check with their professor on the preferred style in their discipline.
