When writing an essay or research work you must be able to fuse ideas in order to compile and synthesize in an effective way. Additionally is quite important that you categorize the information and order it logically. Don´t forget to check how the information links to each other and do not lose sight of your topic to maintain the coherence of your written work. You will gain depth on your paper if you are able to synthesize and contrast information from a variety of texts. Don´t forget to be unique and create a masterpiece of your own.
In order to synthesize an article I always like to start off by taking notes of all the key points and important ideas given in the text. If I have different articles then I take notes on the key ideas and try to compare each article with one another to find out why these articles were grouped together and be able to write paragraphs that are related to one another. Once you have your key points that all you really need to write your paragraphs. Hope this helps!
