19.01.2022 Start writing an abstract for the upcoming Engineering Research Symposium 2019.

15.01.2022 You would live to participate in the conference/symposium and don't know how to start writing abstract? Top tips for writing a strong abstract Follow the conference abstract guidelines. Before starting to write an abstract, check the conference’s individual guidelines, which will indicate the subsections to include or the word count that is allowed. Many guidelines may seem overly particular, but do not ignore even the most tedious requirements (e.g., font size, spacing,... units of measurement, etc.) as your work is judged on all of them. Stick to a standard or required structure. If the conference guidelines do not indicate a required abstract structure, stick to a conventional format (Figure 1. Step-by-step Process). Do not include references unless the guidelines require them. This will help you remain within the word limit and make your abstract visually simpler to read. Tailor the abstract to the right audience. You should always think about your audience while writing your abstract: who will read your abstract? What is the intended audience’s level of expertise in your subject? How familiar is your audience with any subject-specific jargon or acronyms that may appear in your abstract? For example, if the conference is focused on policy issues and you submit an abstract that highlights a clinical issue without relating it to policy, your project may not be selected for inclusion. Communicate professionally and use formal language. Avoid confusion by using complete sentences, proper punctuation, and be selective regarding the main content. Keep it punchy. Long sentences will lose the reader’s focus. Create curiosity and avoid banality. State the conclusion concisely but avoid overstatements. Say it in the title. Do not leave the audience guessing what your abstract is about. A simple and powerful title will make a good impression and encourage your audience to read the rest of your poster or choose the session that includes your oral presentation. The title is the first sentence that everyone will read. Do not make it too long or else it may bore or confuse the reader! Tell them why your research is important. Describe the wider impact of your work. Why is the research being conducted in the first place? State a take-home message. This is the most crucial part of your abstract as it may be the only thing people will remember about your entire project. Good luck! Cheers.
