The Devil is in the Details: Converting Good Research into Publishable Articles
指出摘要写作的常见问题，强调应提供具体信息以吸引审稿人，并给出摘要长度和关键词放置的建议，对希望提升论文发表成功率的学者有参考价值。
The number one problem with abstracts is too much approach, not enough arrival. Sometimes abstracts are so generically written that they do not pique the reviewers’ interest at all. Many read like this: “Topic A is increasingly important in the global marketplace. Drawing upon the literatures in B, C, D, and E, we present a general framework for understanding A. Data were collected from a wide variety of firms and several interesting patterns of findings emerged. The article concludes with a discussion of future research directions and implications for management practice.” Abstracts are your first chance to make a positive impression on reviewers; try to give the readers some concrete information to get them excited about your work. There’s nothing mystical about number of words in an abstract. Nonetheless, a good rule of thumb is one-half to two-thirds of a page. Try to include your key words at the end of your abstract.
