Using views to generate a summary view of nodes I have been wrapping my head around this problem. Basically I have changed the post settings to teaser mode. And I have made views that filters node of certain type . To conclude, I want my nodes to be displayed like in this link http://asblab.mie.utoronto.ca/research 
where the research links has a summary view with the read more. 

Thanks in advance.
There are a million different ways to do things in Drupal, but:


Create a View
Filter on node published and type
Sort by whatever criteria you desire and select how many items you want displayed
In Fields, select:

a. Node Title - link to node

b. Body or Field that contains the description you want displayed (select Trimmed if you want it shorter than all of it) and remove the label

c. Node Link - enter Read More as the text to display and remove the label


and you should be on your way...
