An abstract is a concise form of written communication that seeks to convey the main purpose of a research project. Abstracts catch the attention of the reader and encourage them to dive deeper into the research being presented. A reader often makes the decision whether to keep reading or not based upon the abstract. Therefore, an effective abstract is not only a summary, but a persuasion for readers to dive into this research further.
