Abstract/Summary

An abstract or summary is a scientific document summarizing a longer document.

It should:

1.       Show what the longer document is all about

2.       Help others decide whether to read all, part, or none of the longer document

3.      Give users a framework for understanding the longer document.

For this assignment, you will choose an article from a professional journal in your field. 

Process of preparation:

1.       Read

2.      Reread—highlight or underline focusing on essential message.

3.      Pare down ideas

4.      Combine ideas

5.      Rewrite in your own words

6.      Check your version against original

7.      Document your source

What the reader expects:

            - accuracy – a precise sketch of content, emphasis, reasoning of journal article

            - completeness – a reader would only glean details from reading the document as the

                   abstract has provided all main points.

            - readability – clear, straightforward

            - non-technical style – unless writing to an expert, use plain English

This is the way to do the homework and I attached the article down in a PDF form if you can Highlight the main points hat you did the abstract about. 

I also attached a sample that you can look over it and do it the same way. 

the abstract should be about 13 sentences or so. it doesn't have to be that much.
