Abstract Guidelines
An abstract is a summary of your research usually presented in skeletal form, which concentrates on the essentials of a larger idea or claim. Your abstract should include enough information for reviewers to judge the nature and significance of your research, the adequacy of the methodology employed, and the nature of the results and/or progress to date. We strongly recommend that you attend an ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø abstract writing workshop in January to help you get started. If you cannot attend in person, you may come to drop to in advising to gain additional information and guidance.
