Research Paper Abstract Generator
Writing the abstract for your research paper, dissertation, or book chapter is usually one of the
final steps before you submit your work.
It’s also the activity that many students and researchers find most difficult. A strong
abstract must be clear, succinct and
informative, but how do you decide what to include?
Structuring your abstract
Many journals require the abstract to be structured according to
Background
Results
Methods
Conclusion
whereas the abstract for your dissertation or chapter may just be a short narrative paragraph. Either way, the abstract should contain key information from the study and be easy to read. Creating an abstract is as much an art as a science.
Happily, Scholarcy can help by identifying exactly the right information to include in your abstract.
