  • The abstract is one of the most important if not THE most important part of your entire research paper. It needs to accomplish two main objectives: it must give a concise summary of the content of your research paper; and it should seduce the reader into reading or purchasing your full paper.
    This video gives step-by-step instructions on how to develop and construct your abstract, as well providing as some dos and don’ts when it comes to composing your abstract. It also features a “sample abstract” that you can use as a guide when composing your own work.
    And when you are finished writing your research paper abstract, by sure to get English editing and proofreading from a qualified professional editing service like Wordvice (wordvice.com/research-academi...)
    This video includes:
    ✔ An explanation of why the abstract is important to your paper
    ✔ A detailed summary of how to approach and plan to write the abstract
    ✔ Step-by-step instructions on how to include all relevant parts of the abstract (motivation and purpose, problem, methods, results, and conclusion)
    ✔ An abstract sample that demonstrates how to apply these rules
    ✔ General tips on what to include and what to avoid when writing your abstract
    Who should watch this video:
    ★Research writers writing a paper for a journal or conference
    ★Students interested in learning how to compose a proper abstract

    I tried to make a summary of this amazing video :-
    Structures of the Abstract:
    Summary of Your Paper.
    Contains five sections : these sections are : 5 sections :
    1) Purpose and motivation.
    2) Problem.
    3) Method (the method you used) .
    4) Results
    5) Conclusions
    1 Purpose and motivation.
    Reader attention
    Your motivation to study
    Purpose of your study
    Why this Particular STUDY?
    And Why is it Important?
    Motivation sentences like this: (Rising incidents of rabies among domestic animals is an increasing concern in Brazilian cities.)
    2 Problem :
    What is Your Research Trying to Understand or Solve?
    What is Your Central Claim or Argument?
    Problem : for example :
    The Purpose of This Study is to investigate the connection between urban population proximity to jungles with wild squirrel populations and the incidence of rabies in domestic animals.
    3 Method
    What did you do? & how did you do it?
    So you want to do, to discuss only the most significant method used. which part are most important reader understand your results
    Example: (using across-sectional analysis, this study analyzed the incidence of rabies in Brazilian squirrels from 2007 to 2015 and measured these results against a similar study conducted in 2011)
    4 Results
    Summary of your results
    You should determine what the most significant ( state only the most significant result )
    You should link this results to your problem and your conclusion
    Trend, figures, correlation between phenomena
    So Give and focus only the most significant result!!
    For example: the proximity of dense urban population to Brazilian squirrel habitats was found to play the greatest role in facilitating the spread of rabies to domestic animals.
    5 conclusion
    To give the statement about the implication أثار of your study ( this is your conclusion statement )
    Relate BACK TO PROBLEM AND PURPOSE
    Here some question you can think about answering here:
    What do the results mean in the context of the Problem?
    What other unanswered questions are there ( about your problem)?
    For example :
    Conclusion: This study definitely answers the question regarding correlation between proximity to Brazilian squirrels and the transmission of rabies to pets. Further studies are needed to establish causal relationships and develop preventative measure.
    Some Tips: keep in mind
    Write the abstract last : ( to ensure the information are consistent ..
    Always Keep your content in correct order ( start with the introduction and finish with conclusion …
    Write the abstract from scratch. (to void a redundant …
    Don’t copy and paste.
    Only used highly relevant terms .
    Relevant Terms = Pertinent Search Results.

    Hi Kevin. I just wanted to thank you for your videos. It was perfect for me. I am a 1st gen college student, at 45 years old (just had my 45th 09/01/19). This week was my first week of class (HR Management) and my 3rd semester. Our first written assignment was an APA paper with an Abstract. I have written MLA AND APA papers before but was never asked to include an Abstract. This was new and scary to me. After googling "How to" videos, your video popped up. It was easy to follow and understand. I took your advice, worked your steps and was able to turn in my paper with an abstract. Turning the paper in, I hoped the Abstract was enough and received a passable grade out of 100 pts. I received my grade this afternoon from my professor. Thanks to your tutorial, I received 100/100. I am floored and so proud of myself. Thank you for these videos. I will be tuning in more often for more tutorials. Take care and again THANK YOU! (09/03/19)
