+===== Abstracts =====

+===Structure of Abstracts===
+| Outer context | A short introduction to the **field** or **context** of the research problem addressed. This places the research topic within the larger scientific context.  1-2 lines - "The shortest introduction possible." |
+| Research problem / question | A short introduction to the research problem. Explain the problem you are addressing, in as simple words as possible. Make sure you describe it at the right level of detail. Not too general - then you are repeating the above point; not too specific - then you leave out some context that is necessary for some of your readership. "The shortest introduction possible" - 1 or 2 lines, 4 at most. |
+| Key Motivation | 1 line on why this work was worth doing. (Make sure the justification is scientific, not personal!) |
+| Prior attempts at addressing it | If someone has addressed it, give 1 or 2 lines about this. |
+| Why prior attempts are not enough | 1 or 2 sentences |
+| Method | How did you do perform this work? 2 to 4 sentences. |
+| Results | What were your results? 1 to 4 sentences. |
+| (Conclusion) | (Sometimes authors choose to include 1 or 2 sentences to emphasize the **main message** or conclusion of the work described in this paper.) |

+===General Guidelines===
+| Keep it simple! | No one ever faulted a scientific paper for being too easy to read or having too simple wording or sentence structure. |
+| Keep it concise | The abstract is the most polished part, wording wise, of scientific papers. |
+| As simple as possible but not simpler | Make sure it's easy to read but says everything. |
