Final Answer :
All three approaches require careful attention to ethics.When quoting directly,take care not to distort the original intent of the material by quoting selectively or out of context.If an interview subject said,"This market could grow dramatically next year if we invest heavily in new products," using only "this market could grow dramatically next year" in a report would be unethical.When paraphrasing and summarizing,preserve the intended message of the original while expressing the ideas in your own words and sentences.Remember that the goal is to help your audience relate to material that supports your message.Double-check your writing to make sure you didn't subconsciously skew the other writer's message to fit your own needs.All three require complete documentation of sources.
