Literary Synthesis
A literary synthesis is a text where principal ideas are denoted. The difference between a summary is that it shows the author's general ideas; therefore, it's usually the reader who publishes it. In a book, a literary synthesis is shown at the beginning, it can be the point of view of the reader, or a short summary of the content.
The purpose of a literary synthesis is to draw conclusions about the findings in a literature work, so that it can be identified how the literature addresses the reader's research question.[1]
Definition[edit]
To synthesize is to combine two or more elements to form a new whole. the "elements" are the findings of the literature the reader gathers and reads; the "new whole" is the conclusion the reader draws from those findings. [1]
It helps the reader to record the main points of each source and document, how sources relate to each other. By arranging sources in a matrix by theme or variable, the reader can see how the sources relate to each other, and can start thinking about how the reader weaves them together to create a narrative.[2]
The process to make a literary synthesis is gathering literature that addresses the research question, reviewing literature and taking notes, comparing, interpreting, critically evaluating, so the reader can draw a conclusion of the literature work the reader is reading. [1]
