Abstract Form (Writing An Abstract - Examples) printable pdf download

ABSTRACT FORM

IN ORDER for the SSTFI to remain AFFILIATED with the Intel ISEF

ALL STUDENTS regardless of age must complete an abstract.

The abstract should be completed after finishing research and experimentation.

Students may use either the INTEL ISEF Abstract Form or the SSTFI Abstract Form

(Please NOTE: projects do not have to use the actual form for display or submission

purposes; HOWEVER, all information the Abstract Form requests including name &

project title MUST be on the paper).

The abstract should only be a MAXIMUM of 250 words and written/typed on only

ONE-PAGE.

An abstract should include the following information:

Purpose of the experiment

Procedures used

Data collected

Conclusions

The abstract needs to be displayed vertically on the project (not necessarily on the

backdrop but somewhere in the project display area).

What if my research is not completed at the time of entry submission?

Entries sent in prior to completion of experimentation please still send in the Abstract

Form and have written as much as is available at the time with the disclaimer that

research was not completed at time of entry submission.

The SRC will mark your project as in violation for competition and will look for

completed abstracts during SSTFI set-up. It is to your advantage to have the abstract

sent it at the time of SRC paperwork submission!

IMPORTANT NOTE: We do compile an abstract book to be utilized in the judging

rooms and award workroom in case of questions or clarifications so this is a very

IMPORTANT component to your project and should be well written and complete.

The abstracts typed into the on-line registration systems are the ones utilized

for these workbooks. No changes may be submitted to the books after the

permanent close of on-line student registration. (Generally the Saturday prior

to the fair).

How do I format my abstract?

For the most accurate abstract examples students should utilize journals or other

resources with published research papers within their area of study. These are the

best sources to see how researchers in the field format and write an abstract. (It is

also the best place to see what method of citation is used for bibliographies.)
