Do I need to reference a quotation if I put it in my own words?

• No, this is a paraphrase and it doesn't need a citation.

• Yes, but you should only include an in-text citation. Paraphrases do not need to be referenced fully, so there is no need to include the source in the reference list.

• Yes. If you put a quotation in your own words you must acknowledge the original source. As a paraphrase, you must insert an in-text citation and include the full reference in your reference list to avoid accusations of plagiarism.
