Organising a thematic synthesis · Attributing details to their source

Attributing details to their source in context, with bilingual examples and practice.

Application goal: Attributing details to their 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

Within each theme, the writer explains where the documents agree and where they differ.

يشرح الكاتب داخل كل موضوع مواضع اتفاق المستندات واختلافها.

Specific figures or quotations should remain attributable to the source that provides them.

ينبغي أن تظل الأرقام أو الاقتباسات المحددة منسوبة إلى المصدر الذي يقدمها.

The resulting account can be integrated without blurring the origin or limits of the evidence.

يمكن أن يكون العرض الناتج مترابطًا دون طمس أصل الأدلة أو حدودها.
