(1) An abstract is a single paragraph, without subheadings, indentations, and references.
(2) It should be an explicit summary of your presentation that includes the problem, the objectives, the methods used, and the major results, and conclusions.
(3) It should be typed in 11-point Times New Roman, single-spaced for Main Body and 12-point Times New Roman, centered text in bold for Title. Do not include bullet points or lists in the abstract. If there is a need to cite references, please provide the sources in brackets.
(4) Title formatting guidelines for abstract are:
- capitalize the first word of the title and the first word of any subtitle (after a colon, dash, etc.)
- capitalize all major words in the title (i.e., nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, and words of four letters or more)
- capitalize the second part of hyphenated major words (e.g., “Self-Report”)
- lowercase minor short words (i.e., conjunctions of three letters or fewer; prepositions of three letters or fewer; and articles “a,” “an,” and “the”)
- also capitalize “is” and “be” (because they are verbs) and “with” (because it has four letters).
(5) Acronyms should be written in full, the first time they are mentioned in the text, then followed by the abbreviation in parentheses.
(6) Use only the SI units.
- Use a negative exponent (e.g. kgm^-3) and do not indicate units as divisions (e.g. kg/m3)
- Chemical formulae should be written in standard forms as in “CaCO₃”, not as “CaCO3”
- Use a zero before decimal points as in “0.45,” not “.45.”
(7) Be sure to adhere to the word limitation for the abstract (175 -275 words).
(8) Keywords should be presented leaving one-line space below the abstract.
