An abstract is a short summary of a research study. It concisely reports the aims and outcomes of your research, so that readers
know exactly what your paper is about. It should describe the purpose of your work, the methods you’ve used, and the
conclusions you’ve drawn. One common way to structure your abstract is to use the IMRaD structure. This stands for:
 Introduction
 Methods
 Results
 Discussion
