Abstracts are summaries of research journal articles that
are typically 100-200 words long. Their main goal is to suggest to
potential readers that your paper's research findings match the
reader's need to better understand the paper's research topic. This
aim makes abstracts an integral part of disseminating your ideas to
readers in your research community and beyond. This talk is broken
into two sections. The first section is a discussion built around
questions that writers frequently ask about developing well written
abstracts for research papers. The second section details and
illustrates specific planning strategies for drafting and revising
abstracts.
