Concrete Steps for Writing Abstracts

After the title, the abstract is the first thing people read to determine whether or not to read an article, review, dissertation, book chapter,... further. You probably do this quite often too! However, writing a compelling abstract that accurately describes a study in a few lines while being accessible to as broad of an audience as possible and clearly highlighting its contributions is a different story. In this workshop, we will go over why we need abstracts, the different types of abstracts that are currently used, and how to create a compelling abstract. We will also provide examples of abstracts that have been written to present studies from various fields.
