An Abstract – main options on the subject

The major parts of a research paper abstract are the following (presented by ProfEssays.com):

1. The statement and explanation of the purpose of the research. This section starts out by stating the objective of the research paper (in few sentences). The clarification of the objective is then addressed by enumerating the different issues surrounding that objective.

2. A definition of the methodology used in the research. A research paper may contain practical experiments, case studies or questionnaires (e.g. marketing polling) to construct the empirical and statistical foundations of its thesis. The kind and degree of usage of concise or of all methods described in the specific research paper are discussed in this section of an abstract. Remember, that there are word limits, which you should follow.

3. The next section answers the question – “whether the researcher reached his aim and got results needed”.

4. The last section draws a valid conclusion drawn from the data in the previous section and may also contain recommendations for action or further research. It is very important for potential readers because your conclusion can become the answer to the numerous questions, or even make a discovery in certain spheres.

Rules/Tips of Abstract writing

Remember, that sometimes key words are requested, so you should think over the main research paper and find the most suitable words that fully represent your work in right aspects.

Don’t forget about abstract size limitation (sometimes the maximum requires 500 words, not more).

It is important to use only firm conclusions and describe real results, obtained with different methods (see Main Options), without blurry phrases, started with “maybe” or “we suppose”.
