    ABSTRACT

    F.1 - The abstract is usually the last to be written but the first to be read after the title.

    F.2 - Should be written only when the thesis is completed.

    F.3 - Abstract should be informative not interpretative.

    F.4 - The four factual elements of a good abstract are:


    1. Why you did the study/ the aims of your research.
    2. How you did the study - Paraphrase the section on Methods.
    3. Your main results - those which you gave highest priority when you were sorting out the order
    and emphasis in the Results section.
    3.1 Include all important numerical data. For example, do not just write "Dissolved
    oxygen was higher at Caragasan compared to Ayala", in addition you have to include
    the values, i.e., *Dissolved oxygen was higher (10mg/li) at Caragasan compared to
    Ayala (2 mg/li)."
    3.2 If somewhere in the manuscript you designated your sites in letters or numbers (e.g.
    Caragasan as Site A and Cawa-cawa as Site B), in the Abstract do not refer to them as
    sites A and B, instead write the names of the sites.
    4. Your principal conclusions from the results.

    F.4 - Readers want a quick broad outline of what happened. If they want to know the reagents you
    used, the number of replications, or other details, they will read the full paper. If your most important
    result does not interest them, then your less significant results are of no consequence at all.

    F.5 - Do not include information not in the report.

    F.6 - The abstract should be usually less than 200 words.

    F.7 - Include everything that's new and everything you want people to know.

    F.8 - Exclude the recommendations of the study.

    F.9 - No table number, figure number, and references or citations.

    F.10 - Should be understood by everyone for whom the thesis is intended.

    F.11 - Do not write the title of the thesis in the Abstract.

    F.12 - Line spacing for Abstract is single-space.

    F.13 - Number this page with lower case Roman numeral iv.
