Add the Synopsis | '''Add the Synopsis:''' The goal is not merely to summarize the subject matter of the reference; rather, the synopsis should also summarize the author's conclusions as well. Typically this will be equivalent to an executive summary, and that section of the reference, if available, can provide the basis of the synopsis. Alternately, quoted opening or conclusion paragraphs from the reference may form the basis for the synopsis. Feel free to use wiki section headings "===", "====", etc. to provide clarity to the synopsis. | ||
