While reading and taking notes on research in her area of interest, Dana wrote down quotations from each article, along with the page numbers. As she begins to synthesize the information and write her literature review, her best strategy is to:
a. include the quotations and their sources to ensure she’s correctly representing the previous findings.
b. paraphrase the quotations to demonstrate she understands the content. If it’s paraphrased, she does not need citations.
c. use key quotations, with full references, and then explain what they mean in the context of her research.
d. summarize the main points in her own words and include the relevant citations to the original work.
