An abstract is typically prepared as a preface to a paper or as a submission to an event, such as a conference, so as to have research work presented as an oral presentation or as a poster. The principles are identical. Abstracts are always restricted by a word count, typically circa 250 words, so the maximum of economy is needed to convey result/s. The tenets to be borne in mind are therefore brevity, clarity, simplicity and parsimony. This paper provides some pointers and guidelines.
摘要通常作为论文的前言或作为提交给会议等活动的材料来撰写，以便将研究工作以口头报告或海报的形式呈现。其原则是相同的。摘要总是受到字数限制，通常约250字，因此需要最大限度地精简以传达研究结果。因此，需要牢记的原则是简洁、清晰、简单和节俭。本文提供了一些提示和指导方针。
