科学写作:摘要撰写及常见错误
by Chad Walker
Importance of Abstracts
摘要的重要性
-
Let reader decide whether to read further让读者决定是否继续阅读
-
Is the 1st part to be read, therefore it sets up positive or negative expectations for the remainder of the work摘要是文章的第一部分,关系着读者对全文的印象好坏
-
Should encourage readers who decide the topic is relevant to read further应当吸引读者继续阅读正文
-
If poorly written, discourages reader from reading further写的差的摘要会导致读者停止继续阅读
-
Should be aimed at both readers who will read the abstract only and those that will read the complete paper摘要应当既能吸引单纯的摘要读者,又能吸引阅读全文的读者
Tips for Writing an Abstract
摘要写作技巧
-
Be clear and brief and try to avoid abbreviations.简明扼要,避免使用缩写
-
Describe methods and results in the past tense.方法与结果部分使用过去时
-
Discuss conclusions in the present tense; avoid perfect tenses.讨论部分使用现在时;避免使用完成时
-
State document contents in present tense.文献内容使用现在时
-
The use of I and we is preferable in many journals to the third person and the passive.使用第一人称,而不使用第三人称和被动语态
-
Do not use synonyms e.g. if you use “housing” in one sentence, do not change it to “casing” in another. The reader may think you are discussing two different things.不要使用同义词,否则读者会认为你在指两个不同的事物
-
The abstract should be understandable when read separately from the paper (i.e., stand-alone)即使在没有阅读全文的情况下,摘要也可以作为一个独立的部分为读者所读懂
