How to Write a Strong Abstract and Keywords for Your Manuscript

1️⃣ Writing the Abstract (Think: IMRaD in Miniature)

A good abstract is clear, concise, and complete. Most journals expect 150–250 words.

A. Background (1–2 sentences)
• What is already known?
• Why is this study needed?

✍️ Example:
“Childhood obesity is associated with multiple cardiometabolic complications. Evidence regarding the role of lactoferrin in improving metabolic parameters remains limited.”

⸻

B. Objective / Aim (1 sentence)
• What exactly did you study?
. This is usually included in Background section

✍️ Example:
“This study aimed to evaluate the effect of lactoferrin supplementation in obese children.”

⸻

C. Methods (2–3 sentences)
• Study design
• Population
• Intervention and comparison
• Main outcome measures

✍️ Example:
“In this randomized controlled trial, obese children were assigned to receive lactoferrin or placebo for 12 weeks. Anthropometric and metabolic parameters were assessed before and after treatment.”

⸻

D. Results (2–3 sentences)
• Report key numerical results
• Mention statistical significance

✍️ Example:
“The lactoferrin group showed a significant reduction in BMI z-score and triglyceride levels compared with placebo (p < 0.05). No serious adverse effects were observed.”

⸻

E. Conclusion (1–2 sentences)
• What do the results mean?
• Clinical or scientific relevance

✍️ Example:
“Lactoferrin supplementation may represent a safe and effective adjunct in the management of childhood obesity.”

⸻

2️⃣ Choosing the Right Keywords (Small but Powerful)

Most journals require 3–6 keywords.

✅ How to Choose Keywords Correctly:
• Use MeSH terms when possible
• Avoid repeating words already in the title
• Think: What would a researcher type into PubMed to find my paper?

❌ Avoid:
• Very general terms (e.g., study, children)
• Abbreviations (unless universally accepted)

✔️ Good Keyword Examples:
• Childhood obesity
• Lactoferrin
• Randomized controlled trial
• Body mass index
• Metabolic syndrome

⸻

3️⃣ Quick Checklist Before Submission ✔️
• ⬜ Within word limit
• ⬜ No references or abbreviations
• ⬜ Results include numbers
• ⬜ Conclusion matches results
• ⬜ Keywords are searchable and specific

How to choose good attractive comprehensive title 💥💥

1️⃣ Be Clear before Clever
• The reader should understand the topic instantly
• Avoid vague or poetic phrases
❌ “New Insights into Pediatric Diseases”
✅ “Serum Ferritin as a Predictor of Disease Severity in Pediatric Sepsis”

⸻

2️⃣ Include the Core Elements

A good title usually contains 2–3 of the following:
• Main variable (exposure/intervention)
• Outcome
• Population
• Study design (optional but powerful)

Example:
👉 Vitamin D Deficiency and Risk of Asthma Exacerbations in School-Aged Children: A Case–Control Study

⸻

3️⃣ Use Specific, Searchable Keywords
• Think like PubMed, not like poetry
• Use terms commonly searched in your field
• Avoid unnecessary abbreviations

⸻

4️⃣ Keep It Concise (but Complete)

Ideal length: 10–15 words
• Too short → unclear
• Too long → exhausting

💡 If needed, use a subtitle:

Early Cardiac Involvement in MIS-C: A Prospective Echocardiographic Study

⸻

5️⃣ Match the Title to the Study Type
• Observational: association, prevalence, predictors
• Interventional: effect, efficacy, impact
• Diagnostic: accuracy, validity, performance

⸻

6️⃣ Avoid Common Mistakes ❌
• “A study of…”
• “Our experience with…”
• “Novel”, “Unique”, “First-ever” (editors dislike hype)
• Claims not supported by results

⸻

7️⃣ Quick Title Checklist ✔️

Before submission, ask:
• Is it accurate?
• Is it specific?
• Is it search-friendly?
• Does it reflect the main finding?
