Papierauszüge

Papierauszüge, often translated as paper extracts or document excerpts, refer to specific portions of larger written documents. These are typically created to highlight or isolate particular information for a variety of purposes.

The creation of papierauszüge can be manual, involving cutting or photocopying sections of a document, or digital, where specific text or images are selected and saved. They are frequently used in academic research, legal proceedings, and business communication. For instance, a student might create a papierauszug of a book chapter to focus on a specific theory for a paper, or a lawyer might extract key testimony from a deposition transcript.

In a business context, papierauszüge can be used to summarize reports, present critical data points, or share relevant clauses from contracts. The primary goal is to distill essential information, making it more accessible and easier to digest than the full document. This process aids in efficient information retrieval and targeted analysis. The term emphasizes the origin of the information from a physical or digital paper source.
