What is Abstract


Abstract is another word 'summary' of a research where the reader should be able to quickly ascertain the paper's purpose. It is prepared at the beginning of a manuscript and conveys the main results plus conclusions of an article. In general, abstract helps many organizations in selecting research papers for presentation.

The common structure of an abstract based on four elements which are objectives, methods, results and conclusions/recommendations. Typical length ranges from 100-500 words, but rarely more than a page.
