Application goal: Organising by theme rather than by source.
Synthesis is more than placing two summaries side by side. Identify agreement or disagreement and relate it to your question. Distinguish source claims from your own interpretation.
Context: Organising a thematic synthesis. Identify the wording that achieves this goal, then adapt the details to a situation of your own.

Practical examples
A source-by-source summary would describe each document separately from beginning to end.
سيلخص العرض المرتب بحسب المصادر كل مستند منفصلًا من بدايته إلى نهايته.
A thematic synthesis instead groups the evidence around shared questions.
أما الدمج الموضوعي فيجمع الأدلة حول أسئلة مشتركة.
In this example, the useful themes are access, clarity and the time required to complete a task.
في هذا المثال، تتمثل الموضوعات المفيدة في الوصول والوضوح والوقت اللازم لإكمال المهمة.
