7.2. Title & Abstract

Title

It is a common practice to have the main title (with catchy words) describing the overall objective and the secondary title (with specific terms) indicating the key methods.

Abstract

The abstract is the face of the paper that will get readers interested in your work. Make sure that the writing in the abstract does not seem redundant to the one in the introduction although their contents may overlap.

The abstract is a standalone section such that it should be comprehensive on its own. Also, the introduction should be not a continuation of the abstract; in other words, the introduction should not assume that the reader already read the abstract.
