how do I paraphrase a quote and cite it properly?

If you're paraphrasing you put it in your own words (therefore quotation marks are not required).  You then must make a parenthetical reference (last name of author, followed by a comma, followed by a page number or date).  You must then also include a reference on a Bibliography, Reference or Works Cited page.  Make sure you use the correct formatting (this will depend on what referencing style you use--personally I prefer that my students use MLA).

If the lecture notes have been published you may cite them in the usual way eg Author, Date, Title, Journal, Publisher, page(s). The title would probably indicate that it was a lecture\nYou must of course restrict your quotation to a significant phrase or sentence or two and not quote whole chunks of the lecture.\nIf the notes have not been published I suggest you obtain permission from the lecturer and give details of when and where they were made. This would not count as one of your references as other people could not look up the source the themselves.

I don't know as if you can register (copyright) a "quote" as such. Quotations are usually derived from books, poems, songs, essays, articles and the like, all of which *can* be copyrighted by the writer.

If I want a quote, I usually go into a search engine and type (for example)\n\nH.G. Wells, Time Machine, quotes\n\nOr...if you know the quote, but nothing else. Put the quote in the search. Trust me. You'll find what you need.\n\nIt's almost as if it works like magic.

Paraphrasing is when you put someone else's ideas in your own words. It's not just rewriting a paragraph or changing a few words. From the webs ite below:\nParaphrasing is:\n*your own rendition of essential information and ideas expressed by someone else, presented in a new form. \n*one legitimate way (when accompanied by accurate documentation) to borrow from a source. \n*a more detailed restatement than a summary, which focuses concisely on a single main idea. \n\nBe careful about taking a sentence and only changing a few words in it--some plagarism detecting software will catch that and call it plagarism.

I recently read that if you wish to use a quote from a book, you should contact the publisher.  Many large publishers maintain a department that handles such requests since they have paid the author for the book's copyright.  They will require you to quote accurately and use the quote in a respectful way.  A public library reference desk may help you find the publisher's address so that you can send them a letter with your request.

Buy a book called "The Penguin Dictionary of Quotations", or another comparable one.  You can look up key words, or browse under the authors.

Citations are references to published works. A paraphrase is a statement or remark explained in other words. So, your question makes no sense.

The guideline is to use only one block quote for four pages.  In other words, one or two paragraphs for each four pages.  For your seven page paper, you could block quote two paragraphs.  That's from the MLA handbook, I think.  When I taught English, the rule was always that no more than 10 percent of a research paper was to be quoted.  Paraphrasing is more desirable.  Could you paraphrase the information?

It depends on what your project is. If it's a formal paper, then you create a bibliography page for the source's full citation--no matter how few or how many you have.\n\nIf you're not writing a formal paper, you may be able to get away with an in-text citation. For example: "John Doe states in his book, THE HISTORY OF DEER, that deer are 'blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda' (115). He also says that road-killed deer add a nice touch to homemade stew (123)." \n\nIf you're not sure which one to do, I'd advise you to go with doing a bibliography page (or Works Cited page, or References page, or whatever your citation style calls it). It's better to go overboard in citing your quotes than to be accused of plagiarism.

type or copy paste that same exact phrase in search engines and make sure you keep the quotations. Quotations tell a search engine that you are searching for that exact phrase

We were always told to put the citation after the last sentence from that source, as long as all the sentences are in one paragraph. If you start a new paragraph in the middle of the sentences then use two citations.
