Key points You must think critically when writing an abstract. You must decide what is a main idea and what is a detail. It should be short, but not too short that you don’t explain the main idea properly.
Why do we write abstracts? Many times people don’t want to know what an entire article is about. Some people just want to hear/ read the main point and ignore the details. It is easier to read. Some people are just too lazy to read a long science article.
