Writing an Abstract
An abstract is a short document that captures the interest of potential attendees of your presentation. Your abstract should engage the reader by telling them what your presentation is about. The title of the proposed presentation is also important; short attention-catching titles are the most effective, however, it is also important to ensure that the title describes the subject.
These are questions to consider when writing your abstract.
- Does the title succinctly describe the topic?
- Does the abstract clearly state the topic of the presentation?
- Does the abstract say how the research or project was or is being undertaken?
- Does the abstract give a concise summary of the findings?
- Does the abstract indicate the value of the findings and whom the findings will benefit?
- Does the abstract engage the reader by telling them why they should attend the presentation?
- Is the abstract well written in terms of conciseness, language, and grammar?
- Does the abstract conform to the structure outlined and the word limit?
Correspondence
The submitting author will be the only point of contact for all communication regarding the abstract, including acceptance notification.
