Abstracts Introduction
Often, abstracts are included in professional papers to provide a short summary of a larger work. Abstractsallowthe reader to quickly decide if they want to read the larger work.
For some student papers, you may be asked by your instructor to include an abstract. The page will cover how to format an abstract, the qualities of a good abstract, and an example abstract.
Again, please check with your instructor to know if you need to include an abstract with your paper or research project.
