I am doing a research report for my college English class. Nothing to crazy just 1500 words with annotated bib.
My question is:
What exactly do I cite all my information is coming directly from the research journals. So if I am reading and summarizing these journals do I need to cite the entire paragraph or do I need to cite the direct facts I am quoting word to word.

yes, you still cite paraphrases. You, however, do not need to put it in quotes except for unique phrases that you use from the source. Paraphrase citations go at the end of section. so you don't have to cite every sentence.
