The abstract title conveys to the reader what the study is about. The title should not be misleading and must pertain to the research hypothesis, methods, results, and conclusions of the study. The title may be in the form of a question or may be formatted to suggest the conclusions, if appropriate. A short, concise title is preferable as it may more easily catch a reader's attention. Do not use abbreviations in the title.
Authorship credit should be awarded only to those individuals who substantially contribute to the abstract. Participation solely in the collection of data does not justify authorship. To allow more space for scientific material, avoid including postal codes in the author and institution listing. Note: remove for double-blind review
The introductory sentence(s) may be stated as a research hypothesis, purpose, or objective. Alternatively, the sentence may state the current evidence for a particular finding. A hypothesis is a supposition or conjecture used as a basis for further investigations. The purpose is a statement of the reason for conducting a particular project. The objective is the end result that the scientist is trying to achieve by conducting a particular experiment. This part of the abstract should be limited to one to three sentences.
The methods section is possibly the most difficult section to write in a condensed form. Briefly describe the objectives and methods of the study and include sufficient detail to enable readers to have a clear understanding of the methodology. Included in these sentences may be a description of the study population and outcome variables. Analytical techniques should be described. A brief description of statistical methods used may be included.
The results should be stated succinctly to support only the research hypothesis or conclusions made. Standard deviations, standard errors of the mean, or ranges should be presented where appropriate. Results should be presented in narrative form. If results must be put in a table, tables should have no more than four columns.
The conclusion(s) should be brief, highlight the impact of the research, and follow the methods and results in a logical fashion. Avoid restating results in this section. New information or conclusions not supported by data in the results section should be avoided.
