Abstract

  An abstract is a doorway to a scientific report, paper, and research proposal. After the title of the paper, an abstract is a most widely read section. Therefore, it is the most essential section of a research paper, report and grant proposal. An abstract should be drafted correctly, accurately, carefully, meticulously, descriptive, simple, specific, clear, scholarly, and structured. The four structural units of an abstract are ‘Background, Method, Results, and Conclusion’. Each of these parts is important, and the results are usually a little longer. Abstracts should not have any citations and the use of any citation in the abstract is inappropriate. The abstract should contain important words (keywords) for appropriate indexing purposes.

Keywords: Method; Results; Conclusion
