PORTFOLIO #13: Abstracts

"Academic Articles are part of the genres that teachers can write if they want to do research if they want to study from "authentic material". We are going to analyse them, so get ready for an interesting description of ARTICLES. Not only do FORMAL (academic) ARTICLES share these features, but also they are headed by ABSTRACTS. So, let's delve into this "new genre". An abstract is an independent text that comprises the most important concepts of the paper, the purpose of the research, the state of the art, what is missing, and the results of the investigation."
The following Padlet contains more information about Abstract.

From my perspective, an abstract is not only a summary of my published paper. For that reason, I have to think the most minimal details and keywords I want to include on it.  First, it is relevant to express effectively and correctly the keywords of my research as a starting point to provide to the reader an idea about what I am writing. Second, an abstract contains between 150-250 words. That is why I have to be direct and clear with the given information. Third, if the abstract is well-written, the text will be a great help for those readers who want to use my research in their productions. Moreover,  It will lead the reader to get the essence of my paper and decide if he/she wants to read the full text.
