What Is an Abstract?

An abstract is a short statement that describes a larger work (article, book, report).  If the article describes an experiment, the abstract will be divided into these sections (called a "structured abstract"):
  1. Scope
  2. Purpose
  3. Methodology
  4. Results
  5. Conclusion

It is not a review or an evaluation.

It contains key words found in the larger work, but is not an excerpt form that work.
