Understand the context
Understand the idea of the reference source well before you use the content. With a comprehensive understanding of the text, you will be able to paraphrase it correctly and without copying the content word-to-word as it is the best way to avoid plagiarism. When you paraphrase the text, it means that you understand the context of the source well and restates the original idea in your own words, citing the name of the author and his work.
