The abstracts are to be new and perhaps more current information pertaining to the discussion topic and specifically address one or more of the case questions/concepts.

• Accurate: The abstract accurately reflects the information in the article and the purpose of the study. No new information that is not in the article/publication should appear in the abstract. 
• Self-contained.
• Concise and specific: The abstract should be ~300 words. Bullet point the most important points. 
• Non-evaluative.
• Coherent and readable: Use the third person, active voice. Use the present tense to describe results and past tense to describe variables manipulated or tests used.

All abstracts are to include:

1. • The full citation of the source preceding the abstract (bibliographic citation including publication, title, author, etc.).
   • Concise restatement of the main point(s) (the most important information first).
   • Key words and phrases that quickly identify the content and focus of the work/writing.
   • Clear and concise sentences and/or bullet points.
   • Major conclusions.
