Main Article Content
Abstract
All manuscripts require the presentation of an abstract, typically under 300 words, that summarizes the
research work. A well-written abstract allows the reader to understand the manuscript's content and
the value it can provide. That is why, if we want an abstract to stand alone, we should follow a series of
crucial steps and components. This article suggests how to write an abstract, exploring different formats, its components, the roles it fulfills, and specific writing recommendations.
