    over the things you create.

     The right to reproduce the work


     To prepare derivative works
     To distribute copies
     To perform the work
     and to display the work publicly

    Copyright Infringement

    A copyright infringement is a violation of an individual or organization’s copyright. It describes the


    unauthorized use of copyrighted material, such as text, photos, videos, music, software, and other original
    content.

    How to Avoid Copyright Infringement

     Cite the owner of the work;


     Better if you ask for permission
     Do not use the work for commercial use
     Always think before you act

    Paraphrase and Summarize

    What Is Paraphrasing?

    When you paraphrase, you use your own words to express something that was written or said by
    another person.Putting it into your own words can clarify the message, make it more relevant to
    your audience , or give it greater impact.

    Used correctly, summarizing and paraphrasing can save time, increase understanding, and give
    authority and credibility to your work.

    How to Paraphrase Text

    To paraphrase text, follow these four steps:

    1. Read and Make Notes

    Carefully read the text that you want to paraphrase. Highlight, underline or note down important
    terms and phrases that you need to remember.

    2. Find Different Terms

    Find equivalent words or phrases (synonyms) to use in place of the ones that you've picked out. A
    dictionary, thesaurus or online search can be useful here, but take care to preserve the meaning of
    the original text, particularly if you're dealing with technical or scientific terms.
    3. Put the Text into Your Own Words
    Rewrite the original text, line by line. Simplify the grammar and vocabulary, adjust the order of the
    words and sentences, and replace "passive" expressions with "active" ones (for example, you could
    change "The new supplier was contacted by Nusrat" to "Nusrat contacted the new supplier").
    4. Check Your Work

    Check your work by comparing it to the original. Your paraphrase should be clear and simple, and
    written in your own words. It may be shorter, but it should include all of the necessary detail.

    Paraphrasing: an Example

    Original
    Despite the undoubted fact that everyone's vision of what constitutes success is different, one should spend
    one's time establishing and finalizing one's personal vision of it. Otherwise, how can you possibly
    understand what your final destination might be, or whether or not your decisions are assisting you in
    moving in the direction of the goals which you've set yourself?

    Paraphrase
    We all have different ideas about success. What's important is that you spend time defining your version of
    success. That way, you'll understand what you should be working toward. You'll also know if your decisions
    are helping you to move toward your goals.

    What Is Summarizing?

    In contrast, a summary is a brief overview of an entire discussion or argument. You might


    summarize a whole research paper or conversation in a single paragraph, for example, or with a
    series of bullet points, using your own words and style.

    Permission and Citations

    If you intend to publish or circulate your document, it's important to seek permission from the
    copyright holder of the material that you've paraphrased or summarized. Failure to do so can leave
    you open to allegations of plagiarism, or even legal action.
