requirements for Abstracts

An abstract is a short summary of your paper. A well written abstract serves the purpose of:

  • Communicating the context, results and conclusion of your paper to the reader.

  • Giving the reader enough information to decide if to read the whole paper.

  • Helping the reader remember the highlights of your paper.

The abstract should include no more than 300 words. Remember to write the abstract in English. Please avoid jargon and explain all abbreviations. Try to use short and simple sentences. A good abstract underlines the results, findings and observations. Try to explain why the topic and the results are relevant: What kind of impact have the results had on your work? Can the results be copied and implemented in other countries? What can the statistical community learn from your experiences? Please end your abstract with 1-5 key words.

Keywords: Lorem, ipsum, dolor, sit, amet
