Abstract
An abstract should tell the reader the main purpose, results and implications
An abstract should convey meaning, e. g. "This paper gathers data relevant to current theories and analyses it" says nothing. Don't "tease" readers, e. g. "This paper draws several critical conclusions." Instead of stating you made a conclusion, state the conclusion. Don't think: "If I give my findings in the abstract, they won't read on." If your abstract gives no value, people won't read it either. The abstract usually gives at least: 1. The purpose of the research (e. g. "This paper investigates a new variable in technology acceptance."). 2. A findings summary (e. g. "User control increased user acceptance."). 3. Some implications (e. g. "Systems which give users control may be more accepted.")
