Assement Task 2:Abstract

*

For your second Assessment Task, I’d like you to provide an abstract for an article for a journal or a conference. The details with respect to the format and length of the abstract should be taken from the ‘advice for authors’ section which is usually contained on the journal / conference homepage.

In order to find this information first go to the home page of the journal [or conference] and once there, click on the advice to authors button [[in the case of journals it is usually located in either the left or right hand column]. Once there, stroll down to find the information related to the format of the abstract.

If you are having any trouble locating a journal . You can go to http://www.science/direct.com [a link to which can be found on simon’s writingroom.blogspot.com and look for a journal related to your field.

Dear fellow learner, hope all is going well. I'm just writing to let you know that I am in the process of posting the summary sheets for each of the lectures we have had so far. These can be obtained under the heading 'Summaries' a link to which can be found in the 'Blog Elements' list located in the column on the left of the blog. I also want to let you know that from this week I will be posting some issues of various science and science related magazines .
