Paraphrasing

According to James D. Lester, students tend to use direct quotes while taking notes. So they end up using too many directly quoted items in their final research paper. Students should learn how to take notes without using a lot of direct quotes to avoid plagiarism in the final drafts of their research papers because no more than 10% of their final paper should be direct quotes.
