Long Abstracts
December 16th, 2009
| Tags: abstracts
Our Wiley-Blackwell production partners have alerted us that overly-long abstracts are causing problems with page layout. Our limit is 200 words, and some have been going 330 and more. This crowds out the footnotes, keywords, and citation information.
Once again, an abstract is NOT the whole paper! It should concisely summarize what you did and what you found.
Like Garrison Keillor’s description of a good sermon, an abstract should have a strong beginning and a strong ending … and the two should not be all that far apart!
