Discussion Post: Synthesis of Research Information
Synthesizing is organizing the information across multiple references and writing about it by theme. Do not confuse synthesis with a summary. These are very different writing processes. A summary is a description of the ideas of one resource. In a literature review, the information presented is a synthesis, not a summary, therefore it is important to understand the difference.
Post a description of synthesizing information. In your own words, explain what synthesis is and how it differs from summarizing information.
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
