How to write an abstarct in APA in citation?

One thing that you should know about the abstract, no matter what type of citation you are going to use, is that it should be short. Yet, it does not mean that just because it is short, it will not come withal of the needed information. Each sentence of the abstract must have sense and will provide the readers with what they need.

To create the right abstract follow these tips:

• Always cite the full text of work.

• You can also use the abstracts as references.

• Do not indent any part of the abstract.

• Make sure that space will be double spaced.

• The font should be Times, New Roman.

An excellent abstract summary gets to the point of the matter quickly without any unnecessary details.

The APA guide has a specific format for abstract pages.

• You must have a page header. It should be entered at the top of every page.

• Use a standard font.

• You should use 12 -point Times New Roman font.

• Double-space the text.

• Type the key word abstract at the top of the page header as the first line of standard text.

• Begin the text of your abstract underneath.

• On the line directly after the word abstract, the first line immediately following word abstract, the first line of your summary should appear.

• Do not indent the paragraph.

• Include keywords below the abstract text.
