What a good abstract contains
Editors and reviewers read the abstract to decide whether to read on. Most journals expect, in one paragraph: the context in one sentence, the objective, the method (design, data, sample), the main results with numbers, and the conclusion with its implication. Avoid citations, undefined abbreviations and claims stronger than your results.
Using AI responsibly in academic writing
Many journals and universities require you to disclose AI assistance and forbid listing AI as an author. Use the generated abstract as a draft: rewrite it, verify every statement, and follow your target journal's policy.
