Abstract (300 words) with 4–5 key words
An abstract is normally sent to conference organizers in the planning stages of a conference as it informs the selection process, but it is also used in the conference programme to give the audience an idea of each paper. The abstract should be written last, should be written in the past tense, and should give a very brief overview. For a structure, try answering the following questions:
1) What problem are you setting out to solve, and why did you set out to do so (rationale / motivation)? Look at your ‘Introduction’ and ‘Conclusion’ sections for key aims and conclusions
2) How did you go about achieving the aim of the research? Talk about methods, areas of research, and theoretical angles.
3) Results: Present key findings
4) Conclusion: What are the implications of your research findings?
