Abstract

An abstract is your entire work in a nutshell. The rational behind an abstract is to put everything consicely. So if you are writing a paper, the optimal length of your abstract would be about one paragraph. In the case of a dissertation this could expand to one page but not more.

There are several topics that need to be covered in an abstract:

1. purpose of the study

2. methods

3. findings/results

(4. implications)

This last part is not mandated to be covered.

The tense used when writing an abstract for a proposal is future, and for a paper it is past.
