The abstract should be a succinct, single-paragraph summary that covers the paper’s purpose, main points, method, findings, and conclusion. It specifies length boundaries (not shorter than 150 words and not longer than 250 words) and instructs formatting such as avoiding an indented first line. It also recommends appending keywords to improve discovery in research databases.","Full Title of the Paper\nAuthor Names\nUniversity or College Name\nAbstract\nThe abstract is the first major section of the paper.
