Details:

A research abstract is a concise summary of a research study or project. It provides a brief overview of the purpose, methodology, results, and conclusions of the research, allowing readers to quickly understand the key aspects of the study without having to read the entire paper.

Typical components of a research abstract include:

1. Background or Introduction: A brief statement of the research problem or topic, including its significance or relevance.

2. Objective or Purpose: A clear statement of the research aim or objective, outlining what the study aims to achieve.

3. Methods: A summary of the research design, including the approach, methods, and techniques used to conduct the study.

4. Results: A summary of the main findings or outcomes of the study, including any key data or statistical information.

5. Conclusion: A brief statement of the study's conclusions, implications, or recommendations based on the findings.

6. Keywords: A list of keywords or phrases that highlight the main topics or themes of the research, aiding in search-ability and indexing.

Research abstracts are typically concise,  and unless the RT requests otherwise, it should be around 300 words, depending on the specific requirements of the publication or conference. They should be clear, informative, and accurately represent the content of the research study.
