This was in a comment, and I want to bring it out to the main blog because i have a feeling people aren't checking the comment sections. Christie asked:
"I am scared to plagarize. there is only so many ways you can say variable 1 and variable 2 are correlated. i dont want to get in trouble for saying something clearly, which happens to be the same way someone else did too. . . tips?"
You just now did a paraphrase Christie! I didn't write anything about correlation on mine. But, if you want more examples, that will come with reading articles. The more you read, the more you'll get the gist of your own style, because you'll have a deeper concept. That's probably the best thing i can tell you. actually, i asked the same thing last year...it's posted a ways down the blog, and Mari gave us good advice::
"I would strongly recommend that you read all the examples ...Read them carefully, understand how they are written, and then put them aside. Write your own write up, and do not consult the examples while you are writing. If necessary, refer back to the examples after you are finished writing to check and see that you included all important information. Don't actually look at the examples while you are writing, though, because that makes not plagiarizing very, very difficult."
Hope that helps!
