Summary
Completely recasting in your own words a shorter version of information presented in a text as an overview. This requires a citation.

Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material.
