Answer:

false.

Step-by-step explanation:

A summary, which is a condensation, in one´s own words, of the main ideas and topics of a text or discursive rendition, needs to reference the original source. As a rule of thumb, in order to avoid plagiarism, it is always pertinent to reference others´ ideas when using them for one´s own purposes. This is done to give due credit to the author of said ideas and to corroborate what is being cited or referenced.
