How to get published

TRANSCRIPT

If the title catches a reader’s attention, the next thing they check is the Abstract.
The Abstract is freely available in electronic abstracting and indexing services, such as Scopus, PubMed, Medline, and Embase.

The Abstract should be a single paragraph summarizing the problem, the methods, the results, and the conclusions.
The Abstract acts as an advertisement for your article since it is freely available via online searching and indexing. You want to make it as catchy and accurate as possible to have the greatest impact.
An Abstract written clearly will strongly encourage the reader to read the rest of your paper.
The Abstract should be as brief as possible.

Take the time to write the Abstract very carefully. Many authors write the Abstract last so that it accurately reflects the content of the paper.
