What is synthesis? How do I synthesize information?
Answer
Synthesizing is the use of multiple sources in one paraphrased sentence or paragraph to make a strong point.
If you paraphrase multiple sources in the same sentence, you should include each source in the citation. Separate sources using semi-colons (;) and create the in-text citation in the normal style (Name, Source Number).
Example
(Harvey, 1; Buchanan, 2)
In the example, the authors Harvey and Buchanan were paraphrased to help the student make a strong point. Harvey is the first source on the source list, and Buchanan is the second source on the source list.
