1. The document provides tips for writing conference abstracts in 5 steps: understand reviewers' expectations, know your own study well, write a first draft, revise the draft, and have peers proofread.
2. Reviewers judge abstracts based on how well the topic matches the conference theme, how rigorous the study design is, and how clearly the abstract conveys this information. The abstract should explain the research background, questions, methods, and key findings.
3. When revising the abstract, the writer should reduce redundant information, ensure consistency across sections, and prioritize the study's highlights and their theoretical importance. Peer proofreaders can identify unclear parts from the perspective of an informed outsider.

This short powerpoint helps new university students to understand how academic journal articles are structured, and ways that they can quickly and effectively make sense of an article.
Writing an academic paper is too hectic for students in most of the cases. What usually happens is we get an opportunity to prove ourselves through this way and we should ensure to give in our best for the academic writing. http://www.papermoz.co.uk/essays/

f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

2. What is Conference Abstract like?
• Title (10-20 words)
• Keywords (if necessary)
• Summary (50 words)
• Abstract (250-300 words; excluding
references)
• Two readers:
Ø Reviewers: Main text
Ø Audience: Title & Summary
• Example abstract:

3. 5 Steps to Abstract Writing
3
1 Know about reviewer’s expectation
2 Know about your study
3 Write up 1st draft
Revise the draft
5 Ask peers/supervisor for proofreading
4. 1. Know about reviewer’s expectation
Reviewer’s decision is made in terms of...
4
Probably, 7-point scale...?
5. 1. Know about reviewer’s expectation
Topic
• How much your research topic matches the conference theme
(audience)?
Research judged through Abstract
• How much your study / RQ is oriented toward theory and/or
real-world problems?
• How rigor the design of the study is?
• How significant the results of the study is?
Clarity
• How clearly the abstract tells these to the reviewers?
5
6. Components of Conference Abstract
Background of Study
• Introduction (Topic)
• Literature Review
– What has been already known?
• Statement of Problems
– Any gaps or inconsistency?
– Any methodological shortcomings?
• Research Question
6
Let reviewers easily understand (a) what your study addresses
& (b) how important your RQ is.
7. Trigger Qs for Literature Review
• What do we already know in the research area?
• What are the characteristics of the key concepts/factors/variables?
• What are the relationships between the key
concepts/factors/variables?
• What are the existing theories?
• Where are the gaps and inconsistencies in our knowledge and
understanding?
• What views need to be further tested?
• What current research designs or methods seem unsatisfactory?
• What evidence is lacking/inconclusive/contradictory/too limited?
• What contribution is your research expected to make?
7
8. Components of Conference Abstract (Cont’d)
Methods
• Participants
• Materials
• Procedure
• Analysis ...etc.
You might have written these in
somewhere else.
8
Let reviewers make sure (a) how your study addresses your RQ
& (b) that you actually DID it (even if you WILL do later).
→ Reviewer’s concern: Will presenters surely give their talks?
9. Components of Conference Abstract (Cont’d)
Findings
• Results with concrete information (e.g.,
Statistics, Coding scheme, etc.)
• Theoretical interpretation of the results
• Contribution(s) the results would make
Consistency with “Background”
9
Let reviewers make sure (a) that your study addressED RQs &
(b) how important your findings are.
→ Reviewer’s concern: Will the audience appreciate their talks?
10. 2. Know about your study
Starting point of your research
• Can be personal experience, BUT useful for Introduction
Key findings
• Must correspond to the Results as well as RQs
Strengths
• Theoretical contributions? (Discussion & SoP)
• Methodological advances? (Discussion & SoP)
• What problems these strengths can address? (SoP)
Weaknesses
• Should be neutrally mentioned in the talk, but NOT in the
abstract due to the wordcount.
11
12. 3. Write up 1st draft
• Brainstorming: Just list information as much as possible
– Without what to write, you CAN’T write.
• Write each information in one or two sentences
• Put them in the EXPECTED order (cf. Components of Abstract)
• Wordcount estimates
– Background: 100 words
– Methods: 100 words
– Findings: 100 words
– BUT...it depends on the strengths/highlights of your study.
14
13. 4. Revise the draft
Goal : to Let reviewers understand by reading ONCE
• Density...Reduce the redundant information
• Consistency...Iteratively edit across Components
• BUT ... save the first draft separately for your presentation.
– Overly informative for abstract, but very useful for talk/paper
when drafting the slides
Priority
• The highlights of your study
• Info. to understand the highlights & its theoretical importance
• Info. to understand the design of your study
– Refer only to major references which reviewers should know.
15
14. 5. Ask peers/supervisor for proofreading
• Person who knows much about your area and your study
– Supervisor
• Person who knows about your area but NOT about your study
– Colleagues
– Reviewers should be those kind of people.
• If necessary (highly possible), ask them again after the revision.
• If you’re asked to proofread your colleague’s abstract, focus on...
– Where your reading stops
– How clearly information is expressed (cf. Components of Abstract)
17
15. Take-home message
18
1 Know about reviewer’s expectation
2 Know about your study
3 Write up 1st draft
Revise the draft
5 Ask peer/supervisor for proofreading
16. One more thing...
• Science is one particular kind of communication of knowledge
only done by DISSEMINATION.
• Conference presentation is the starting point for early
researchers and also even top researchers.
• Giving presentation can be tough, but ...
It is always YOU who can share your research with our field.
