Answer to Question #203087 in English for Jay

Question

why do you think must an abstract be accurate, informative, clear, coherent, and cohesive

Answer 1

An abstract should be accurate and this helps to reflect the contents of the paper because an abstract should not have information that that is not already in the paper. It should also be informative because this will inform the audience or reader of all the important points in the paper by briefly summarizing the background, purpose, methods, findings, and the conclusion. Finally, since the abstract plays an important role in grasping the information of the whole research report, the writing of the abstract, therefore should be concise and the logical relation among sentences should be clear, coherent and cohesive.
