Title and abstract are the two most searched and used
parts of an article by scholars from within the field
and others alike. Thus, it is important to use terms
that can be understood by a broader audience, while
addressing the fundamental elements that the reviewers
typically want to know about a paper. The importance
of a carefully crafted abstract cannot be
overemphasized because the online search engines of
bibliographic databases typically list the title, authors,
and abstract of a paper. Some search systems still use
key words but most scan the title and abstract for
these words or phrases.
