This example shows paraphrasing:

• e.g. Food Technology magazine describes how coffee is processed, summarising each stage. Focusing on the roasting stage, it involves raising the temperature of coffee beans to between 180-230 degrees Centigrade, triggering a steam release, causing the beans to swell and darken; developing the flavours (McHugh 2017).

This example shows quoting:

• e.g. Food industry magazine Food Technology encourages consumers to appreciate how coffee is processed, explaining"coffee processing is considered to be the single largest contributor to the flavor profile of coffee, with microclimate and soil being the next largest contributors" (McHugh 2017, p.74).
