Summarizing
The summary includes only the major
points.
It is written in the words of the
researcher.
The source of information is included
The researcher does not combine
his/her opinion in the summary.
Students frequently overuse direct
quotation in taking notes, and as a result
they overuse quotations in the final
[research] paper. Probably only about 10%
of your final manuscript should appear as
directly quoted matter. Therefore, you
should strive to limit the amount of exact
transcribing of source materials while
taking notes. Lester, James D. Writing
Research Papers. 2nd ed. (1976): 46-47.
Ex. Accepted summary
In research papers students often quote
excessively, failing to keep quoted
material down to a desirable level. Since
the problem usually originates during
note taking, it is essential to minimize the
material recorded verbatim (Lester 46-
47).
Ex. Accepted summary
Students should take just a few notes in
direct quotation from sources to help
minimize the amount of quoted material
in a research paper (Lester 46-47).
