Tips for writing abstracts for conference papers
This is slightly different to writing a general abstract and in this scenario the abstract is likely to be written before the paper has been prepared.
- Clarify in your own mind the purpose of the paper.
- Look at the themes of the conference and keep them in mind as you write.
- Ask yourself the following: What approach am I using? - Is it a review, description or supporting a hypothesis? What are my findings? Do the findings support the initial hypothesis? What is the significance of my findings?
- Quite often, the submission procedure will dictate the format and number of words your abstract should follow - make sure not to exceed the word limit.
- Choose your keywords carefully, ensuring the key themes of the conference are referenced.
