Lessons objectives
Learn the ways of incorporating sources in your academic essays
Demonstrate your understanding of the reasons sources are used in academic writings

Which one of these could be a reason to use sources in your paper ?
Provide background information (history/theory) or context
Supply evidence (statistics/research findings that back up a claim) for or help to develop an argument or illustrate the problems
Provide support from an expert or authority on the topic

Three Steps for Integrating Your Evidence

The three main ways to incorporate a source are
Summarizing - capture the key points of a text
Paraphrasing - rewording the relevant idea(s) from a source
Quoting - the original wording of the text is important to the discussion

Format when you don’t know the name of the author
Use the article title.
Include information about the author if he or she is an expert on the topic. Do this only the first time you use a source

Common Verbs for Introducing Evidence
A neutral stance towards the evidence
Disagreement or doubt about piece of information

To present information from a study

Connecting the evidence to the topic sentence
The “Sandwich Approach”

Example of comparison/contrast paragraph with incorporated sources
Topic sentence: Organic food is believed to be healthier than conventional food.
Supporting sentences: A 2017 study conducted by the Stanford University School of Medicine found (introducing the evidence) that organic food had significantly lower levels of pesticide residue than conventional food (Hassim, 2018) (inserte evidence). This means that those who choose to buy organic food are exposed to fewer synthetic chemicals (analyses). Additionally, the antioxidants found in organic food have been linked to a reduced risk of certain chronic diseases, including heart disease and certain types of cancer (Mann, 2017). Therefore, switching to organic food could be beneficial for overall health.
Concluding sentence: The higher nutrient content of organic food can be beneficial for people who are trying to maintain a healthy diet.
