How should you summarise?

To summarise correctly:

Identify the key ideas in the original source.
Write down the key ideas in your own words or use quote marks if replicating original text for emphasis.
Do not add your own reflections on the original text, summarise only.
Remind the reader that someone else has written the original piece of writing throughout your summary: Smith (2009) states…, She further indicates…
Cite and reference the original source.

What is summarising?

Summarising is a short and concise representation of the key ideas of source material, in your own words.

A summary is shorter than the original text and provides an overview of the subject matter.

Summaries need to be referenced, just like paraphrases and quotations.

How should you integrate a paraphrase?

To integrate a paraphrase:

Underline key points in the original source.
List the main ideas or concepts.
Come up with alternative phrases and synonyms to describe the ideas.
Rewrite and reorder these ideas in your own words.
Use a signal phrase where necessary to embed the author’s name, eg “Smith (1996) states…”, “As indicated by Townsend and Parks (2013)….”
Cite and reference.

What is paraphrasing?

Paraphrasing is introducing ideas from another source in your own words. Your “voice” is predominant in a paraphrase and shows your understanding and interpretation of someone else’s thoughts in relation to the topic.

You should be as faithful as possible to the author’s idea, while showing how it relates to others’ ideas and your own.

As a general rule paraphrasing will be used more commonly in your writing than quotations, which should be used rarely and selectively.

How should you integrate a quote?

To integrate a quote correctly you should:

Use a signal phrase such as “According to Smith (2008) …”, “Smith (2008) reports …”
Demonstrate the relevance of the quote to your writing by using an introductory phrase or by providing commentary on the quote.
Include quotation marks.
Incorporate a short quote into a paragraph or indent a longer quote.
Include the number of the page or paragraph where you found the quote.
Demonstrate any changes you have made to the quote, such as shortening it by omitting sections.
Cite and reference it.
