Extended Abstract Guidelines

An extended abstract is a shortened version of a research paper that can be understood within an hour of reading. It contains key elements like references, comparisons to related work, and details expected in a full paper. An extended abstract is generally 5 pages double-spaced with 6-8 key references cited in the text. Sections usually include title, abstract, background, goals/hypotheses, methods, analysis, resources, and references. Authors are advised to hook the reader within 5 minutes and satisfy them within 45 by using clear writing and relevant examples/images while staying within the page limit.

PREPARATION OF 5-PAGE EXTENDED ABSTRACT

WHAT IS AN EXTENDED ABSTRACT?

An extended abstract is not simply a long abstract. The extended abstract should
contain references, comparisons to related works and other details expected in a
research paper but not in an abstract.

An extended abstract is a research paper whose ideas and significance can be


understood in less than an hour of reading. Writing an extended abstract can be more
demanding than writing a research paper.

Some things that can be omitted in an extended abstract are, for example, future work,
very specific details of tests, institutional information and ramifications that are not
relevant to the key ideas of the above

ADVICE TO AUTHORS OF EXTENDED ABSTRACTS

- Papers submitted as Extended Abstracts should generally be no more than five A4


pages and include no more than six to eight key references that are cited in text. Do
not list references not cited in text.

- An ideal submission should have the reviewer intrigued within the first 5 minutes of
reading, excited within 15 minutes and satisfied within 45. If your abstract fails any of
these tests, it may be rejected no matter how good your research is.

- Neither overlook the importance of introduction, examples and conclusions nor


eliminate relevant images because of number of pages.

- Remember that your work will be read by many non-specialists of your research
area. Thus, the expanded abstract must be written in a clear, straightforward and
easy to understand manner, so it can be easily assimilated. Doing so, you can better
attract general public to your research.
