title: Writing a research abstract.
abstract: Research abstracts may be difficult to write, especially for novice researchers. Reading abstracts from previous ENA Scientific Assemblies with a critical eye will help you focus on the abstract elements described in this article. Your abstracts should be clear, logical, and grammatically correct. Having others (for example, clinical nurses and a nurse researcher) review your abstract and provide feedback before submission is also helpful. And, after your research abstract has been accepted and presented, it's still not over--the next step is writing the research manuscript!
