Why …?

... a title?

The title of an academic paper usually consists of two parts: the title and the subtitle. The title intends to awaken your readers’ interest, and the subtitle describes what you have done in your paper. The title should reflect what your paper is about and arouse curiosity. The subtitle should detail your approach.

However, not every paper requires a subtitle. Please contact your supervisor for any questions in this regard.

... an abstract?

The abstract is a short summary of the entire paper and provides an overview of its key aspects. Make sure that it answers the questions below.

Checklist

Answer the following questions as briefly as possible: An average abstract only has approximately 200 to 300 words.

  • What have you done and why?
  • How and by what means and methods have you carried out your study?
  • What results have you obtained?
  • What is their importance for research?
