Summary Writing

A great summary enables you to compact a wide range of information to the main points that the original author was trying to make. By extracting only what is important, you give your reader a complete outlook of what is important without any unnecessary details that would derail them.

When Do You Need to Write a Summary

---

As a student, it is integral that you demonstrate the ability to draft high-quality summaries. Many academic courses have assignments that require students to write summaries of articles in one or two pages or to include summaries while they are writing their analyses. When conducting research, you will also rely on summaries to present specific ideas that may be relevant to your topic. You will also encounter the process of summarization as you write your introductions, abstracts, or executive summaries, as these provide a short run-through of what your paper will contain.

How to Write a Good Summary

---

Because we know the impact that a good summary has on your paper and your overall grade, we ensure that we can meet the key characteristics of a good summary:

• The Summary can stand on its own

When writing a summary, we will invoke the ideas of the original author but present them in your voice. Summaries do not require that you copy exactly what was originally written, instead, they require you to read and understand the author’s main points and then present them according to your interpretation. We also understand the importance of not imposing judgments during the summary or making any misrepresentations of the author's arguments.

• It is concise

We will guarantee that the summaries we provide are straight to the point and that they are not repetitive. The goal of the summary is to provide a condensed overview of the author's original argument, and therefore, it should be brief.

• It is comprehensive

The summary should include all the relevant and important points that the author made in the original text. To achieve comprehension, we will make sure to read the entire text, make a list of all the essential points, and then use this to construct a well-informed, comprehensive summary.

• It is coherent

A summary should make sense as a piece of writing. The ideas presented in summary should flow naturally from one sentence or paragraph to the other. To achieve this, we use transitions between sentences and paragraphs to guarantee that the main ideas being presented in summary are clear and easy to understand.

• Avoid judgment

Summaries compact the main ideas of text or pieces of media. They are not reviews, critiques, or analyses. Therefore, we do not include opinions when creating the summary but instead only the main ideas from the original text.

Research Writing

---

Research writing is an academic requirement for students. Research papers require an in-depth literature analysis, including a thesis backed up by credible and reliable sources. The following are the steps taken by our writers in research writing.

---

Process of Research Writing

---

---

Narrow down the research topic

---

If the instructor does not provide the research topic, choosing a unique research topic that adds to the existing body of knowledge and is related to the course is important. So familiarity with the research topic is important. Understanding the research topic and what the research aims to solve is crucial.

---

Resources and sources

---

Library resources and the internet are used to access articles, publications, and articles that provide information related to your topic. Having a mix of primary and secondary sources is ideal for providing a broad perspective of the research topic.

Noting down the sources that have an impact on your research topic to be applied later in your paper is a pro-tip that makes the organization of the researched content neat. A summary, including an evaluation of the article, can be done in a separate draft or written in an annotated bibliography format to be used in the paper based on the information provided.

---

Organization

---

Depending on the type of research paper, different organizational methods are applied. The most common organizational structure is introduction, methods, results, and discussion.

---

Revising and editing the paper

---

At this stage of research writing, we make sure;

• That all the relevant information is written in the right place. The introduction should provide an overview of the problem statement, including a background and literature review on the research topic. The methods section should include the methodology applied for the research, the results and discussion the same should be specific as well.
• Clarity and coherence. The paper should be easily understood while using simple language that expresses expertise and familiarity with the research topic.
• The paragraphs should flow logically and seamlessly, including well-connected ideas from one paragraph to the next.
• Grammar, punctuation, and proper organization and formatting of the paper are conducted to ensure accuracy and good quality of the paper.

Plagiarism

When citing information from other sources and authors, writing using one’s own words while citing the authors accordingly is an important step. Academic misconduct is frowned upon in the academic community. This concern is highly heightened when writing research papers. We understand the seriousness of this aspect, and below are some of the steps taken by our writers to produce plagiarism-free research papers include:

• Understanding the research topic and requirements of the paper while applying paraphrasing skills.
• Use current, reliable, and reputable sources while citing them where applied.
• Establish a consistent writing style and tone throughout the paper that is unique to the writer.
• Use anti-plagiarism software to make sure there is no plagiarism.
