Zobel's five points* Abstract * An abstract is typically a single paragraph of about 50–200 words. The function of an abstract is* to allow readers to judge whether or not the paper is of relevance to them. It should therefore be* a concise summary of the paper’s aims, scope, and conclusions. There is no space for* unnecessary text; an abstract should be kept to as few words as possible while remaining clear* and informative. Irrelevancies, such as minor details or a description of the structure of the* paper, are usually inappropriate, as are acronyms, mathematics, abbreviations, or citations. Only* in rare circumstances should an abstract cite another paper (for example, when one paper* consists entirely of analysis of results in another), in which case the reference should be given in* full, not as a citation to the bibliography. Sentences such as “We review relevant literature” should* be omitted. * Many abstracts follow a five-element organization:* 1. * A general statement introducing the broad research area of the particular topic being* investigated. * 2. * An explanation of the specific problem (difficulty, obstacle, challenge) to be solved. * 3. * A review of existing or standard solutions to this problem and their limitations. * 4. * An outline of the proposed new solution. * 5. * A summary of how the solution was evaluated and what the outcomes of the evaluation were. * Thus a draft of an abstract can consist of five sentences, one for each of the points above.* Introductions should be structured in much the same way, but with a paragraph or two, not a* sentence, for each component. A valuable exercise is to read other papers, analyze their* abstracts and introductions to see if they have this form, and then decide whether they are* effective. * [ 6:18 PM] The more specific an abstract is, the more interesting it is likely to be. Instead of writing “space* requirements can be significantly reduced”, for example, write “space requirements can be* reduced by 60 %”. Instead of writing “we have a new inversion algorithm”, write “we have a new* inversion algorithm, based on move-to-front lists”. * Many scientists browse research papers outside their area of expertise. You should notassume that all likely readers will be specialists in the topic of the paper—abstracts should be* self-contained and written for as broad a readership as possible.
