An ABSTRACT (literally, pull (= -tract) away from (= ab-))
consists of BRIEF highlights of each section of a paper. It is the first thing a reader sees, and it tells the reader what he or she will find in the paper, so the reader can decide whether he wants to read the whole thing. So this section contains a MAXIMUM of 1 or 2 sentences summarizing each section of the paper, and SHOULD BE WRITTEN AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED WRITING THE REPORT. Here is what goes into an Abstract: from the INTRODUCTION (1 sentence): DO NOT repeat the background information: DO state the objective of this study (from your outline, that will generally be similar to the LAST SENTENCE of the Introduction). from the EXPERIMENTAL SECTION (1 or 2 sentences): DO NOT include specific details about the apparatus, how the samples were prepared, or how the measurements were taken; DO say what type of apparatus was used, what was controlled, what was varied, and what was measured (WHAT, not HOW). from the RESULTS SECTION (1 or 2 sentences): DO NOT describe your data or plots, or recap how you analyzed your data; DO say what the data showed (y goes up with x, y exhibits a minimum with x, etc.), and DO include numbers (domain of x, range of y, coordinates of interesting points). from the CONCLUSIONS SECTION (1 sentence): DO NOT include your suggestions for future work; DO include what the results show or mean.
