In this video, I look
In this video, I look at how to write an abstract for a research paper with examples drawn from my own experience as a PhD Student. Writing an abstract can be tough, knowing what to include in an abstract and what to leave out when trying to summarise your conference paper or journal article in such a short amount of space can be particularly frustrating as these few hundred words will be what represents your work to conference organisers or potential readers.
Here, then, I explain my own process for writing an abstract including ensuring it contains your motivation, problem statement, approach, results and conclusion. I then put these ideas into practice by creating an abstract for a recent video essay I released: How Bojack Horseman Critiques the 1990s.
