The abstract should be a concise statement of the content and significance of the dissertation or thesis. It should consist of continuous, coherent summary, not disconnected notes or impertinent jargon.
The student must include an abstract with each copy of the dissertation or thesis submitted to the college. Although the content of the abstract is determined by the student and his or her graduate committee, the following information should be included:
- short statement about the area of investigation
- brief discussion of the methods and procedures used in gathering data
- condensed summary of the findings
- conclusions reached in the study
Mathematical formulas and words in foreign languages should be identified clearly and accurately so that they may be printed in Dissertations Abstracts International. If there are errors or inconsistencies, the abstract may be temporarily withheld from publication until the author can be reached for clarification.
The name appearing on the abstract must be the same as that on the title page. The title of the abstract must be the same as that of the finished dissertation or thesis.
