An abstract is a key component of any research presentation, proposal, or manuscript submission, and a good abstract can set your work above the rest. Typically, an abstract is the only information a program committee, editor, or reader sees to decide if your work will be presented, considered for publication, or read. It is important that your abstract represents the quality of work in just 250 carefully chosen words. Join Dr. Nicole Deiorio as she shares her expertise as a journal editor and guides us to discover what makes an abstract impactful and appealing.  

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

Explain the functions of a research abstract

Identify the components of a high-quality abstract

Apply best practices to abstract writing
