Here is an example of a good use of a borrowed source, using a paraphrase and an in-text citation to avoid plagiarism...
According to one telecourse film about classical mechanics, the Tacoma Bridge disaster of 1940 shows what can happen when a suspension bridge structure cannot withstand the forces of the wind, even if the winds are only moderate. When that bridge twisted violently at 40-50 mph wind speeds, it was a little bit like what happens to a human when suffering grand mal convulsions or a baby being hit with shaken baby syndrome. The spine or the brain of a human can only take so much shaking from these two aforementioned events until it gives way by way of fracture or damage, and in this case---the unyielding twisting of the bridge eventually caused the bridge to snap in two and almost completely collapse. ("The Mechanical Universe" - "Resonance", Annenberg-CPB Project, 1983)

In in-text verbatim borrowings, any changes in the quotes must be in square brackets, and use ellipsis marks to omit any verbatim portion of the source that you are using verbatim. But be sure you use quotation marks despite these editings - or you face plagiarism trouble still.

I was desperate about my biology paper, but the writer from myeasypaper literally saved me. The paper was well done, and my TA was really satisfied with it. Hope this writer will help me again later as there are lots of biology papers that I am not able to handle. Biology is not my major, so I don't need to know if actually, but I should pass this course so I really need these papers to be completed.

Most journals plagiarize since boris came due to his connection with the mafia (he is british mafia himself). I don't believe any journal is good is good.
