Summarizing, or writing a summary, means giving a concise overview of a text’s main points in your own words. A summary is always much shorter than the original text.
There are five key steps that can help you to write a summary:
Writing a summary does not involve critiquing or evaluating the source. You should simply provide an accurate account of the most important information and ideas (without copying any text from the original).
A well-planned research design helps ensure that your methods match your research objectives and that you use the right kind of analysis for your data.
You might have to write up a research design as a standalone assignment, or it might be part of a largerresearch proposal or other project. In either case, you should carefully consider which methods are most appropriate and feasible for answering your question.
NoteAI tools can be helpful resources when creating a research design and at various stages of your research. However, it’s important to use these tools responsibly. Your university may use an AI detector or plagiarism checker to detect generative AI outputs.

You make gray by mixing black and white paint or—on screens—by setting the red, green, and blue values to the same level. A perfectly neutral gray has no color tint (no hue you could put a name to like “orange,” “purple,” or “yellow”)—it’s just lighter or darker, from white through mid-gray to black.
To find shades of pure gray using a color wheel tool like QuillBot’s free online color wheel, enter #000000 as your base color and move the slider around the outer wheel.
