Abstract - one of the types of small research papers used to assess the competence of students in a particular scientific discipline. There are generally accepted rules for writing an abstract.
They primarily affect the structure of the work and its design. For successful delivery, the abstract must begin with a title page, which contains information about the educational institution, discipline, topic of work, author and supervisor. The volume of the abstract should be at least 10-15 pages of text, printed in Times New Roman, size 18. The volume includes all pages, including the table of contents and the list of references.
The work is reduced to the study of the problem based on the study of several diverse sources. As a rule, reliable sources are the scientific works of researchers of this issue, encyclopedias, methodological materials and various dictionaries, publications in scientific journals and newspapers. References to fiction and the so-called "yellow" press are less credible. The rules for writing an abstract require extreme caution in using such sources due to the lack of confidence in the reliability of published data.
The problem investigated in the abstract must be presented by the student himself. Plagiarism of any kind, even partial, is especially severely punished. The student's reflections on the problem, argumentation of the facts and results of the study, identification of contradictions and reasoned upholding of one's own positions are considered valuable in the work.
The rules for writing an abstract require a carefully planned preparatory stage, during which the selection of the necessary sources, thinking over the structure of future work and its rough planning.
During the study of sources, a deep analysis is carried out, the tasks, goals and relevance of the study of the problem posed are determined, on the basis of which a selection of main and secondary facts is made.
For a good grade, it is important to properly structure the abstract. The introduction should reveal the purpose and relevance of the problem, describe the sources, the structure of the work and argue the appropriateness of their use. It should be small, about one page. As a rule, writing the introduction is started last, when the research is fully completed, their description is ready, and their essence is clearly defined.
In the main part, it is necessary to correctly highlight the problem, express your views on its solution, and conduct an exploratory analysis. In the main part of the abstract writing rules allow the use of citations (provided that the source is referenced). Links must be properly formatted, indicating the page where the quote was taken from. logic althe conclusion of the work should be conclusions and conclusions, focusing on the key aspects of the problem.
No less important is the bibliography. It is the final link in the design. Literature in the list is arranged strictly alphabetically. When compiling a list of sources, the author of the work, its title, year of publication and the page where the material is located are indicated.
All abstract pages must be numbered. The application is not included in this numbering.
