Creating an effective abstract is often challenging yet crucial. With 250 words or fewer, authors must make strategic decisions about what to include and exclude, while delivering a clear and focused message that outlines the content of the manuscript. This blog entry illustrates how S.M.A.R.T. principles (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) can assist academic writers in crafting clear, concise abstracts for manuscripts and research papers. 

Dissemination of research findings is a key part of every researcher’s journey, and this insightful webinar will empower you to make informed decisions to maximize the impact of your scholarly work.
