In the UK, no statutory measure defines the quantity of text that can be copied. It has to be done so that a “fair-minded and honest person” would consider it just and that it is not used as an excuse to infringe copyright.
You may paraphrase text when appropriate, but remember to reference it correctly, using Coventry University Referencing Guidelines. Include official links to referenced resources, such as official articles, landing pages, or officially uploaded material.
