An abstract is a brief summary of the content and purpose of the manuscript. It should be self-contained and fully intelligible without reference to the body of the paper.

To retain complete control over the contents of your abstract, it should be suitable, without modification, for publication by an abstracting service. Editors will shorten an abstract that exceeds the above limits, so don't exceed them. To insure that your manuscript is retrievable using electronic searches, you should include full names of all significant places and persons and all pertinent proper nouns. Symbols, accents and diacritical marks should be used and a transliteration for characters other than Roman or Greek letters and Arabic numerals should be included.

Your abstract should include: a concise statement of the problem or area of investigation, a brief discussion of methods and procedures used in gathering data or obtaining the information used to create the manuscript, a condensed summary of the findings, the conclusions reached in the study, and a succinct statement of the significance of the work.
