Characteristics of excellent abstracts
The characteristics of a good abstract are: accuracy, independence, conciseness and concreteness, non-evaluation, coherence and readability, and attention to the format specification of the abstract.

1, accuracy

Like the topic, we must first ensure the accuracy of expression and accurately reflect the core elements of the paper, which should not appear in the paper.

2. Independence and self-reliance

The abstract of an academic paper is a complete whole and must be logical, so that readers can obtain the author's academic views, research methods and research results without reading the original text, and it can exist independently and become an independent second-class document.

3. Concise and specific

Every sentence in the abstract should be as informative and concise as possible. The length of the abstract is generally about 300 words. Avoid using "panacea" sentences that lack substantive information, such as "has certain theoretical and practical significance" or "is well known".

4. Non-evaluative

The abstract of the paper mainly reports the research results, not evaluates them. Don't annotate and comment on the content of the paper abstractly, especially self-evaluation, and don't have meaningless expressions such as "filling in the blanks".

5. Coherence and readability

Although the content is short, we should pay attention to the consistency and clarity of expression. Some journals require that you should use the third person instead of the first person in the abstract.

6. Pay attention to the format specification of the abstract.

Generally, there are no mathematical formulas, illustrations, tables and other contents, and no notes.
