Synthesizing Information from Multiple Sources

Bringing Information Together

Sometimes you'll read about the same topic in more than one place. Synthesizing means combining information from different sources to get a bigger, better understanding.

Steps to Synthesize

  • Read each source carefully.
  • Find what’s similar and what’s different.
  • Put the information together to form your own idea or summary.

Where You'll Use This

Synthesizing is great for research projects, essays, or when you want to learn about something from more than one point of view.

Examples

  • Reading two articles about recycling and writing your own summary using facts from both.

  • Comparing a book and a website about the water cycle to explain it in your own words.

In a Nutshell

Synthesizing means combining information from different texts to understand more.
