Introduction
How to write an abstract?-this is what a
student wonders when he/she has to compose an
academic paper which requires the inclusion of an
abstract. Even though this part is short in
length, it holds immense importance as it assists
the readers to have an understanding of the
document. Writing a precise and brief description
of the whole paper may seem quite confusing and
tricky. Let us at first get some idea about this
important part of academic writing.

What is Abstract?
It is generally a short summary of the whole
paper and is usually written in a single
paragraph. Here, mainly the key facets of the
document are portrayed including the type of the
paper, the purpose of the conducted research, the
studied problems, the design, findings etc.

What is the Significance of an Abstract?

An abstract is important because it shows the
readers if this piece of writing will serve to
fulfill their purpose of studying the subject.
The quality of the abstract decides whether any
reader will go further with the paper or not.
Thus, the main goal of any writer would be to
make the abstract useful for the readers. So,

How do Write an Abstract?
6
Finish your Paper- You have to complete writing
your document first. The most common mistake that
any student does is confusing abstract with the
introduction. But, both are completely different.
The abstract comes before the introduction and is
like an overview of the entire paper. So, you
need to write the full assignment first to
understand the key points which you will be
highlighting in the abstract.
7
Decide on the format you will follow- You must go
through the instructions carefully to learn the
requirements and any particular guideline that
you need to follow. You have to decide what kind
of style you will use, what will be the length
etc. You should aim at making it more interesting
and appealing to the reader.
8
Consider who your target reader is- While writing
an abstract you need to take the needs of your
readers into account. Thus, you have to think
about who will read your paper and what they are
looking for. And based on the readers, the style
and structure of your abstract will change.
9
Find the suitable kind of abstract- There are
many kinds of abstracts, which are appropriate
for different types of papers. So, you have to
determine which one you will use for your
document.
10
Informative- This is most commonly used type of
abstract. Here, the study done in the paper is
not assessed or critiqued and it is also not
simply described. It is like a substitute of the
main study work. Here, the chief points
including the findings and future suggestions are
all incorporated. The length of this abstract
type is usually a single paragraph or not more
than 300 words.
11
Critical- In this type, along with the key
information of the study, an evaluation
concerning its comprehensiveness,
trustworthiness, and strength is provided. Since
an extra analysis is presented, these abstracts
become a little longer like 400-500 words.
12
Highlight- The purpose of these abstracts is to
attract the readers. In order to seize their
interest, often incomplete and catchy remarks are
used. However, this type is not usually used for
academic writing because these abstracts cannot
stand on its own for the written document.
13
Descriptive- The kind of information presented in
the paper is pointed out in a descriptive
abstract. Here, the procedures, goal, and scope
of the study are incorporated but the findings or
conclusions are excluded. It basically describes
the research or the study done in the paper. The
length is normally very small and may consist of
more or less 100 words.
14

• Write the information in the correct order- You
  have to write the abstract following the correct
  manner and the information must be laid out in
  the right order.
• At first, you have to mention why the study was
  conducted and why this paper will seem
  interesting to the readers.
• Then, you must present the main issue that has
  been addressed in this study to find a solution
  to it. Along with this, the extent of the study,
  the principal arguments, as well as, the thesis
  need to be mentioned.

15

• After that, you need to write down the method,
  which has been utilised in the study. Particular
  approaches or the various sorts of evidence
  utilised in the paper, can be described.
• Following this, include the particular findings
  or data to give a general view of the result of
  the research conducted in the paper.
• Finally, you have to point out how this work
  brings value to the particular field of study. If
  the finding of your research can contribute to
  any further application also needs to be
  mentioned.

16
This order or the components may vary from one
abstract to another one. So, you have to adjust
it according to the type of paper you are
writing. Proofread and edit it- Do not consider
the first draft as the final abstract. Because
this part of an academic writing is so important,
you have to invest more time into it. Revise it
multiple times, ensure there are no grammatical,
typing or syntactical mistakes in it, and see if
everything you have written making sense. After
editing, you must have a comprehensible,
clear-cut, brief and complete outline or summary
of the paper.
17
Things to Remember While Writing an Abstract

• There are some things that you must keep in mind
  at the time of writing your abstract
• Do not include any long information concerning
  the background of the study.
• You should not be very specific in the abstract
  and give explanations of every term or points
  mentioned. You should only provide a general
  overview of the whole paper.
• Avoid using any illustrations, tables, pictures,
  etc. or even any reference to them.

18

• Do not utilise any jargon or difficult language
  as the reader may find it difficult and confusing
  to understand.
• Do include key terms and phrases that any reader
  interested in this area may use to find an
  article on this topic.
• Avoid the use of references, other documents or
  studies by different writers.
• Give useful information since the abstract is
  supposed to guide your reader to an article that
  they need.
• Do not use misleading references or information
  just to attract readers. Use only the information
  that has been incorporated in the paper.
