ABSTRACT

This section is an extremely short summary of your research project that should get the
readers attention. Usually, an abstract has a maximum of 200 - 300 words (this abstract
is 53 words in length). This is the last thing you will write. But remember, this is the first
thing I will read.

You can include the things that came out wrong, but you
should focus on the results that came out right. Please, be
as organized as possible.

CONCLUSION
In here, a summary of what you have talked about in the
manuscript should be included. Conclusions based on the
results should be made; what do the results mean in relation
to the theoretical background.

REFERENCES
Put references here. Below are a few examples of
references for a Journal Publication (1-2), a conference
proceeding (3), and a Chapter in a book (4). The references
should be numbered and should follow the order they
appear in the manuscript. The references are usually found
in the introduction and in the materials and methods.
However, no text (such as this paragraph) should be
included in this section.
