Abstract Begin your abstract at the left margin. This is the only paragraph that should not be indented. Unless otherwise instructed, APA recommends an abstract be no more than 250 words. It should generally not contain any citations or direct quotes. This should be a tight, concise summary of the main points in your paper, not a step-by-step of what you plan to accomplish in your paper. Avoid phrases such as "this paper will," and just structure your sentences to say what you want to say. The following three sentences exemplify a good abstract style: There are many similarities and differences between the codes of ethics for the ACA and the AACC. Both include similar mandates in the areas of ----, ---, and ---. However, each differs significantly in the areas of ---, ---, and ---. For more detailed information, see "Writing an Abstract" (note that you would not include any links in your abstract). This is just now at 168 words, so eyeball how brief your abstract must be. Think of your paper as a movie you want to sound enticing, and the abstract as the summary of the plot you would share to draw people's interest into wanting to come and see your movie. You want to really hook and intrigue them, but in an academic way and not in a dramatic one. What you have to say is important! Remember to stay under 250, words. Keywords highlight the search terms someone would use to find your paper in a database.
Keywords: main words, primary, necessary, search terms
