What is Summarizing?
According to Buckley (2004), in her popular writing text Fit to Print, summarizing is
reducing text to one-third or one-quarter its original size, clearly articulating the
author’s meaning, and retaining main ideas. According to Diane Hacker (2008), in A
Canadian Writer’s Reference, explains that summarizing involves stating a work’s
thesis and main ideas “simply, briefly, and accurately”. From dictionaries, it is defined
as taking a lot of information and creating a condensed version that covers the main
points; and to express the most important facts or ideas about something or
someone in a short and clear form

From the definitions, take a look on the pool of words and phrase

 Various techniques in summarizing a variety of academic texts

1. Read the work first to understand the author’s intent. This is a crucial step
because an incomplete reading could lead to an inaccurate summary. Note: an
inaccurate summary is plagiarism!
2. One of the summarization techniques you can do is to present information
through facts, skills and concept in visual formats. You can provide the cause and
effects charts, time lines, and Venn diagrams, templates for outlines, use flow charts
or infographics.
3. To avoid difficulty, you need first to know the main points and the supporting
details. You can exclude any illustrations, examples or explanations.
4. You need to analyze the text to save time in thinking what you will do.
5. Think what information you will put in your summary. Be sure to cover the main
points and arguments of the document.
6. One of the best things to do in auto summarizing is restating the words into
different one. You should avoid using the original words of the author instead; use
your own vocabulary but be sure to retain the information.
7. You will fully understand what the document is when you organize all ideas.
8. One of the things you can do is to write down all information in a coherent and
precise form. Keep in mind that a summary is a condensed version of the original
paper, so avoid making it long.
9. You can also decide to represent information through using dimensional
constructions in representing concepts, skills or facts.
10. Paraphrasing is one of the skills you can do in writing a summary. With it, do not
use the same words with the author.
With the tips above, you will no longer worry whenever you need to summarize
because it is your one stop solution to having a fantastic summary that offer nice
details to readers. Follow the tips and you will not make mistakes. Here’s how you
start writing your summary.
