Definition and Purpose of Abstracts

An abstract is a short summary of your (published or unpublished) research paper, usually about a paragraph (c. 6-7 sentences, 150-250 words) long. A well-written abstract serves multiple purposes:

an abstract lets readers get the gist or essence of your paper or article quickly, in order to decide whether to read the full paper;

an abstract prepares readers to follow the detailed information, analyses, and arguments in your full paper;

and, later, an abstract helps readers remember key points from your paper.
