Here’s the thing: even paraphrased writing needs citations. Ideas can be plagiarized just as easily as words, so if you take someone’s idea and reword it, it still needs to be cited. Trying to pass off someone else’s idea as your own, even if it has been reworded, is is just as unethical as directly copying a quote. Everything that did not originate in your brain needs to be accurately cited.

QuillBot Plagiarism Checker FAQs
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is when you use another person’s words or ideas in your work without giving them proper credit. This can be in the form of copying another person’s work word-for-word, but it can also mean taking someone’s ideas and paraphrasing them without citing the original author. Plagiarism can be accidental or intentional, but it’s still plagiarism. Intentional plagiarism is when you knowingly take another’s work and pass it off as your own. Accidental plagiarism is when you take another’s work without meaning to, such as forgetting to add a citation. However, accidental plagiarism can still have consequences for your academic or professional career. That’s why it’s always important to check your work with a scanner like QuillBot’s.
