Abstract

The abstract is the essence of the full text. Before the main body, the purpose of the abstract is to let readers understand the full text briefly. When an abstract is used, it is always placed at the start of a manuscript or typescript, serving as the starting point for any academic paper or patent application. Abstracting and indexing services for various academic disciplines have the goal of compiling a body of literature on that subject. Furthermore, an abstract summarizes the major aspects of the entire paper in a prescribed sequence, usually in one paragraph of between 200- 400 words, and includes: the overall purpose of the study and the research problem(s) you investigated; the basic design of the study; major findings or trends found as a result of your analysis; and, a brief summary of your interpretations and conclusions. Writing scientific publications is difficult for many new researchers, and few receive formal training in how to communicate their findings in writing. Nonetheless, publication is frequently necessary for employment advancement, funding, academic qualification, or a combination of these factors. Generally, an abstract is a short summary of a research article, thesis, review, conference proceeding, or any in-depth analysis of a specific subject that is frequently used to help the reader determine the paper's purpose quickly.
