This time, I will share a bit of the material from my notes about abstracts.

Definition of Abstract

An abstract is a concise presentation form of a report or document written technically, carefully, without the author's criticism or interpretation.

Characteristics of Abstracts

1. Brief
Where the abstract only contains the research objectives, the working method from data collection to conclusions and results.

2. High Accuracy
Using original document sources carefully, easy to understand, and using the same words or terms as the original document.

3. Writing Form
The form of writing is: 
     a. Informative, qualitative, or quantitative 
     b. Descriptive, analytical, or deductive

4. Structure
  • Title of the report
  • Original author's name
  • Problem and objectives
  • How it works, process, or working method
  • Work results and validation of results
  • Conclusion
  • Initials of the abstract author

Types of Abstracts

1. Indicative Abstract
An abstract that briefly outlines the problems contained in the complete document.

An abstract is a miniature report that displays as much data from the report as possible so that abstract readers no longer need to read the original manuscript.
