How research abstracts succeed and fail

Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

After the title, the abstract is the most read section of a journal research paper, freely available on the publisher’s website and in online databases. But it can easily fail to do its job – in several distinct ways, examples of which are examined here. To succeed, an abstract should be written as a micro-paper, focusing on five key components and prepared as carefully as the full paper, whose future success it determines.
