Layout of Primary Articles
• List sections of the article along with basic
description of each
Paraphrasing Research
• Putting another’s work in your own words
• Includes a citation
Tips:
• Make sure you know the definition for all of the words in
the section you are paraphrasing
• Try to summarize larger sections of text
• Explain to a friend who isn’t studying the same thing
Example
In a second large-scale analysis
of over 20000 recipients of the
human papillomavirus vaccine,
researchers found that the
frequency of adverse events,
including appendicitis and
spontaneous abortions, were
the same for a control group of
people who did not receive this
vaccine (Angelo et al. 2014).
