title: Driven to abstraction: writing an abstract for presentation or publication.
abstract: A manuscript's abstract may be the determining factor in the article's acceptance for publication or presentation. It may also be the key to the work's future as a reference article. Specific guidelines for abstract writing are offered to guide the new author through the publication process. The ultimate goal is an accepted manuscript and a prepared presenter.
