How to Write an Abstract for a Scientific Article

In this video, I explain how to write a scientific abstract. The abstract is an important part of a scientific paper, but many authors treat it as an afterthought. Writing a good abstract is easy if you know what content to include and how to structure the components. In this video, I'll walk you through the key elements of an informative and effective abstract and offer an exercise to help you become skilled at crafting abstracts.

in discussion section we discuss results compare with others and describe how they are significant?
what do you mean by significant? can we discuss signifance in the discussion section

[@ScientificWritingwithKarenLMcK]

In discussing your results, you want to show how your findings advance your field of study or fill in a gap in knowledge. That is, explain why your work is important.

Yes.

[@ScientificWritingwithKarenLMcK]

Yes, after you describe the results and what they mean. Another option is to explain at the beginning of the abstract why your question is important to answer.
