What is?
An abstract is a self-contained, short, and powerful statement that describes a larger work. Components vary according to discipline.
Purpose
Abstracts allow readers who may be interested in a longer work to quickly decide whether it is worth their time to read it.
When write it?
Although you might be tempted to write your abstract first because it will appear as the very first part of your paper, it’s a good idea to wait to write your abstract until after you’ve drafted your full paper, so that you know what you’re summarizing.
Types of Abstracts
They have different aims, so as a consequence they have different components and styles.
Descriptive Abstracts
A descriptive abstract indicates the type of information found in the work. It makes no judgments about the work, nor does it provide results or conclusions of the research.
Informative Abstracts
An informative abstract includes the information that can be found in a descriptive abstract (purpose, methods, scope) but also includes the results and conclusions of the research and the recommendations of the author.
