Abstract
The abstract should be a single paragraph in block format (without paragraph indentation), and
the appropriate length depends on the journal to which you are submitting, but they are typically
between 150 and 200 words. (Students should consult their instructor for the recommended
length of the abstract.) Section 2.04 of the APA manual (American Psychological Association
[APA], 2010) has additional information about the abstract. The abstract is important because
many journal readers first read the abstract to determine if the entire article is worth reading. The
abstract should describe all four parts of an empirical paper (i.e., Introduction, Method, Results,
and Discussion). Consider writing one or two sentences summarizing each part of a paper, and
you’ll have a nice abstract.
