Article Summary Guidelines
The purpose of a summary
is to give the reader a clear picture of the article. The summary restates the main points of an
article without giving detailed examples. You are reducing an article
down to 30% of its original format.
Step One: Take notes on the article before you
start the summary.
1.
the source
(author–first/last name, title, date of publication, publication, volume
number)
2.
the main idea of the
original (paraphrased)
3.
the major supporting
points
4.
major supporting
explanations (paraphrased)
Step Two: Organize your notes into a basic
outline.
1.
Write an introductory
paragraph that begins with a frame including an in-text citation of the source and
the author and a verb to introduce the main idea. The verb is generally in present tense.

In his/her/their article/research/study
________________________,
_____________________ (year)
(title, first letter
capitalized) (author/lecturer’s last name)
argues/claims/reports/contends/maintains/states that
____________________________. (main
idea/argument)
The
main idea or argument needs to be included in this first sentence. Then mention
the major aspects discussed in the article. Give a full
reference for this citation at the end of the summary.
a.
For a one-paragraph
summary, discuss each supporting point in a separate sentence. Give
1-2 explanations for each supporting point, summarizing the information from
the original.
b.
For a multi-paragraph
summary, discuss each supporting point in a separate paragraph.
Introduce it in the first sentence (topic sentence).
2. Support your topic sentence with the
necessary reasons or arguments raised by the author/lecturer
but omit all references to details, such as dates or statistics.
3.
Use the same organization and
controlling idea of the original, for example cause- effect, comparison-contrast, classification, process,
chronological order, persuasive
argument, etc.
4.
In a longer summary,
remind your reader you are paraphrasing by using “reminder phrases,”
such as

The author states …
The article (author) further states that …
(Author’s last name) also states/maintains/argues that
…
(Author’s last name) also believes that …
(Author’s last name) concludes that
