    Construction of a scientific abstract
    (Elsevier, 2017) Beckers, Goedele M. A.; Kaefer, Martin; Fossum, Magdalena; Urology, School of Medicine
    An abstract is a brief summary of a research article, thesis, review, conference proceeding, or any in-depth analysis of a particular subject [1]. It is used to help the reader quickly ascertain the authors’ principle messages. The aim of this text is to strengthen the understanding of abstract writing, define its specific components, and to help the writer evaluate and complete their abstract with enhanced clarity and quality [2]. Typically, the academic research abstract contains four elements: objective and study design, materials and methods, results, and discussion/conclusions. During peer review, it is important that authors adhere to this format, as reviewers often evaluate these parts separately.
