What must his summary include?
How to approach this question
When using information from other people's work (like articles), what is the proper academic and ethical practice? Think about acknowledging where the information came from.
Full Answer
He must cite his sources / provide references for the articles and data he used.
When conducting research and using secondary data or information from other sources (like articles), it is essential to acknowledge where that information came from. This is called citing sources or providing references. It is a fundamental part of the statistical enquiry cycle and academic integrity. It allows others to verify the information, shows that the research is based on credible evidence, and gives credit to the original authors. Therefore, Sol's summary must include references to the articles he read.
Common mistakes
✗ Suggesting he must include his own opinion.
✗ Suggesting he must include more charts. While good, it is not something he *must* do.
