What is an abstract?

What is an abstract?

 

An abstract is a concise summary of your research.

  • It lets readers get the essence of your research quickly, in order to decide if he or she is interested in reading your entire research.
  • It helps readers remember key points from your research.

 

Imagine: you are another researcher doing a similar study. If your abstract was the only part of the paper you could access:

  • Would you be happy with the amount of information presented there?
  • Does it tell the whole story about your study?
  • If the answer is "no", the abstract likely needs to be revised.
