This section should include a succinct, self-contained and powerful statement that describes the main objective of the study. The abstract of one paragraph length should not contain formulas and references, it should occupy the first page and includes the following items: Brief background on the research topic, problem statement (if exists), research objective, methods and tools used in the research and major results, an abstract summarizing the content of the paper of no more than 250 words. A good abstract is precise and honest, can stand alone, uses no technical jargon and is specific. (Size line 11, Time Now Roman and Italic).
