GUIDELINES FOR SUMMARIZING SOURCES
Summarizing
Another good skill to help you incorporate research into your writing is summarizing. Summarizing is to
take larger selections of text and reduce them to their basic essentials: the gist, the key ideas, the main
points that are worth noting and remembering. Think of a summary as the "general idea in brief form"; it's
the distillation, condensation, or reduction of a larger work into its primary notions and main ideas.
As with directly quoting and paraphrasing, summarizing requires you to cite your sources properly to
avoid "accidental" plagiarism. Moreover, a summary should not change the meaning of the original
source. A good summary should be a shortened version that conveys the purpose and main points of the
original source.
Components of a Good Summary:
Write in the present tense.
Make sure to include the author, the year, and title of the work.
o For example:
In Pixar’s 2003 movie, Finding Nemo…
In Stephen King’s horror book The Shining (1977),…
In Emily Dickinson’s poem “Because I Could Not Stop for Death (1890),”
Be concise: a summary should not be equal in length to the original text; it should be about 1/10
as long.
Include 2–3 main points of the text or work.
Include the conclusion or the final findings of the work.
Avoid using quotations. A summary is not a paraphrase or a direct quote. If you must use the
author's key words or phrases, always enclose them in quotation marks and cite.
Don't put your own opinions, ideas, or interpretations into the summary. The purpose of writing a
summary is to accurately represent what the author wanted to say, not to provide a critique.
When Is a Summary Useful?
You should summarize when…
you want to give an overview of a source's main ideas/points;
you can express a source's ideas or points in fewer words than the original text;
you need to give a brief synopsis of more than one source; or
you want an authority on the topic to support your ideas.
Examples of Good and Bad Summaries
Be careful when you summarize that you avoid stating your opinion or putting a particular bias on what
you write. This point is important because the goal of a summary is to be as factual as possible.
For example, here is an example of an inaccurate, opinion-laden summary about Pixar’s popular movie
Finding Nemo:
So there's a film where a man's wife is brutally murdered by a serial killer and his son is left
physically disabled. In a twist of events, the son is kidnaped and kept in a tank while his father

chases the kidnapper thousands of miles with the help of a mentally challenged woman. Finding
Nemo is quite the thriller.
This example is a bad summary because it is very vague, and it contains the ...
Reporting writing news_lead
This document discusses the importance of writing a focused news story with a clear theme that is established in the lead paragraph. There are two main types of leads: the direct lead, which immediately reveals the most important events or theme in one to two sentences; and the delayed lead, which sets a scene or evokes a mood over one to four paragraphs before revealing the theme. Whichever type of lead is used, it should capture the essence of the story and encourage readers to continue reading within the first few paragraphs.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
