A paper/ conference proposal abstract differs from a research/thesis/dissertation abstract. It is a critical piece of writing for scholars, emphasizing a talk or description of the research they will conduct. Usually, it is a short paragraph (approximately 200-300 words long).
Why is abstract so important?
An abstract helps readers
grab the main ideas of your work and decide if they should read an entire article
decide if it meets the conference/workshop standards
What are the key elements in a proposal abstract?
Background: the context of the research you are going to explore, such as a topic widely discussed in your field or a gap in the literature (one or two sentences)
Purpose: the aim of the research: why do you want to conduct this research (one or two sentences)?
Methodology: What research design will you employ, and the methods/tools do you intend to use for the research?
Results: what you hope to accomplish with the project
Conclusion: what are the most important consequences of the work/your contribution to your field?
