In June, Zerhouni set up two working groups--one inside NIH and one outside--to solicit and synthesize comments from the scientific community (Science, 15 June, p. 1553).
And who synthesized the comments of the peer reviewers into a decision on the significance, impact, and value of the work that resulted in its selection for publication in a high impact factor journal?
Then an outsider, a management coach, synthesizes the comments and doesn't tell me who said what, but he says, "These are the directional comments that people have about you".
In addition, general comments were synthesized and summarized together for consideration in the final AFASS tool.
Senator Obama synthesized the issue in his comments during the final presidential debate.
Note that "once synthesized" means differently from "synthesized at once" Authors' response The comments are constructive.
Results and discussion of the studies were synthesized by MEB and circulated for additional comments to all coauthors.
AJ designed the study, drafted data collection instruments, coordinated ethics reviews, reviewed, synthesized, and interpreted preliminary results, and reviewed and commented on the final revised manuscript.
LTN managed the overall evaluation in-country, designed the study, collected and analyzed data, including translations and back-translations, reviewed, synthesized, and interpreted preliminary results, and reviewed and commented on the final revised manuscript.
The principal investigator and the translators discussed the comments and any discrepancies between the two translations and synthesized the results during a videoconference.
