summarised vs are summarised

Both 'summarised' and 'are summarised' are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Summarised' is the past tense or past participle form of the verb 'summarise' and is used when referring to something that has already been summarized. 'Are summarised' is the present tense passive voice form of the verb and is used when talking about something that is currently being summarized by someone or something.
