NIMBioS Education Module
Writing the Abstract
This module was created by NIMBioS for undergraduate and graduate students, but could also be used by anyone interested in some tips on abstract writing. Writing an abstract is a very specialized skill for communicating research. One must follow conventions, distill the most important information from his or her study into 150-250 words, and be aware that this single paragraph will be the most widely seen and re-read portion of the entire paper. This module introduces what an abstract is, why it is important to write it well, general guidelines, and some abstract writing strategies.
