Question
Start with a precise problem, not by collecting random quotes.
Science
Polish academic: from the source to your own conclusion
How to summarize, compare and carefully state a position.
Source
Separate the author's thesis, evidence, and your own interpretation.
Synthesis
Combine sources by similarities, differences, and relevance to the question.
Care
Use forms that show a range of certainty: the data is indicative, it can be assumed, the result is inconclusive.
