Just as in translation. Paraphrasing service highly demanded for especially academic texts must be performed by a professional translator or someone who has mastery over the source language. Otherwise, one may face the risk of plagiarism. These steps should be taken in order to avoid plagiarism:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The source text should be read time and time again so as to comprehend the messages in the source text completely.<\/li>\n<li>It is more appropriate to divide the information conveyed in one sentence in the source text into a few sentences while paraphrasing.<\/li>\n<li>Once the rewriting process starts, checking the original text as little as possible will ensure a more valid paraphrasing process.<\/li>\n<li>While using synonyms of the words in the source text, utmost care should be given to ensure that the sentence has the same meaning as the sentence in the original text.<\/li>\n<li>To borrow as few words as possible from the source text while paraphrasing. This phase is important and must be done carefully in that it involves the possibility of approaching the rewritten text into the realm of plagiarism.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The factors that should be considered while paraphrasing:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Not adding more information to the new text than what is conveyed in the source text.<\/li>\n<li>Instead of changing each and every sentence, it is more appropriate to focus on the whole of the source text.<\/li>\n<li>The main ideas mentioned in the source text should be noted down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As mentioned above, paraphrasing requires utmost fineness and experience.
