Constructing an Abstract for a Research Paper
Instructor: Paul Nerney Abstracts are summaries of research journal articles that are typically 100-200 words long. Their main goal is to suggest to potential readers that your paper’s research findings match the reader’s need to better understand the paper’s research topic. This aim makes abstracts an integral part of disseminating your ideas to readers in your research community and beyond. This workshop is broken into two sections. The first section is a discussion built around questions that writers frequently ask about developing well written abstracts for research papers. The second section details and illustrates specific planning strategies for drafting and revising abstracts. Paul Nerney designed, taught and coordinated courses in English as a Second Language and English as a First-School Language for the Centre for English Language Communication at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He also worked under the NUS Provost’s Office to design, teach and coordinate writing and critical thinking modules for the University Scholars Programme and the University Town Residential Programme. Since 2013, he has designed and conducted workshops for writing and publishing research journal papers in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia. |
