When you Synthesize you draw conclusions about the findings in the literature so that you can identify how the literature addresses your research question.
Process:
-
Gather literature that addresses your research question/topic
-
Review literature and take notes: describe, summarize, analyze, and identify key concepts
-
Synthesize literature: compare & contrast, critically evaluate, interpret, so that you can draw conclusion
