How to Write an Abstract

• Use your central thesis statement to open the
  abstract, close with your summarizing statement.
  The central sentences are best created by
  summarizing your major theme for each section of
  the paper. The end result should be clear and
  concise, yet give the scope of your paper.

Guidelines

• The page number will appear on the top right
  corner of the page
• The abstract will be placed as the 2nd page of
  the entire document the title sheet will always
  be the first page.
• The abstract will be composed of a single double
  spaced paragraph. It will not be indented (block
  format) the text size is to remain at 12
  throughout. An inch of margin space is to be left
  on all sides
• A heading stating Abstract will precede the
  paragraph. The heading alignment is to be center
  aligned.
• The popular recommendation is that the word count
  ranges anywhere from a 100 to 250 but consult
  your guidance counselor for his or her exact
  advice.
• Encapsulate the introduction, the research
  methodology, the data analysis results portion
  and the conclusion.
