A good Abstract can be concise and informative, enabling the reader to understand the core ideas and main content of the whole paper in a very short time. In this article, we will provide you with the tips you need to write a good Abstract.
Let’s take a look at the “five taboos” of Abstract. 1:
1. avoid the use of sensationalism or subjective commentary on the wording, to maintain objectivity and rationality. 2. avoid the use of abbreviations or alternatives;
2. avoid the use of shorthand or alternative terms, especially in the abstract of the first appearance of professional vocabulary, should choose to use the full expression of the standard terminology;
3. forgo references to other literature in the abstract, in order to introduce academic background information, for example, which can be placed in the Introduction section;
4. avoid lengthy descriptions of detailed issues, such as mathematical formulas, graphical information, etc., which can be depicted in the text;
5. avoid simply reproducing the information already contained in the title or simply annotating the title, but rather elaborate on what has not yet been labelled or mentioned in the abstract.
Next, for you to reveal how to more effectively produce a quality Abstract:
1. The opening paragraph captures the key points and clearly states the theme and core ideas of the paper. Clearly state the motivation, purpose, and problem of the paper.
2. summarise the main contribution of the paper in precise terms. In just a few sentences, let the reader feel your unique insights and findings on the topic.
3. In a few words, fully demonstrate the differentiation and innovation from previous research. Make sure that the differentiation and innovation contribute to the existing body of knowledge and have a positive impact on the progress of science.
4. clearly define the methodology and the technical approach adopted by the authors in the course of the research, as well as the sources of data and methods of analysis. This information provides the reader with an important aid for a deeper understanding of the research process.
5. Within the limited space available, demonstrate the practical implications and potential application scenarios brought about by your research results or findings. This helps to illustrate why your work deserves attention and provokes the reader to think and explore further.
All in all, Abstract should be written with fluent and easy-to-read language, rigorous and accurate logical thinking, as well as profound and comprehensive academic insight. We hope that the above suggestions will be useful to you when you are preparing your Abstract!
