Citation, Documentation of Sources

Q. If you paraphrase or summarize and it is not a direct quote, do you include the page number in the citation?

A. Yes. In fact, it can be more important to cite page numbers when you paraphrase or summarize than when you quote, especially if the source of the info is longer than a few pages. Words reproduced in a verbatim quotation will almost always be easier to locate in the original than words and ideas approximated by paraphrase or summary.
