Writing an Abstract

The ability to write a clear and effective research abstract is important in numerous academic contexts including proposing conference papers, applying for research grants, summarizing articles and book chapters and preparing your DPhil thesis. This session, part of our new series of research skills training sessions, will consider what makes a good abstract and how to go about writing one. Practical examples will be considered and there will be opportunities to write and share your own abstracts.This session is aimed at external postgraduates who are applying for, or are currently enrolled on, a PhD programme.
