Does a paraphrase have quotation marks?
No. A direct quote is words from another author (besides yourself) that are copied verbatim. This always needs quotes. Paraphrasing does not need quotes.

The source should be acknowledged. A paraphrase is not a direct quote and does not require quotation marks. You do, however need to give credit to its author through correct citation.
