• written in proper English.

Your abstract shall contain the following aspects of your work:

• subject, topic and aim of your paper (these should be mentioned, unless fully exposed in the title of the paper);

• research methods (you should define them if they are a novelty and are interesting in view of your paper);

• findings (main results, your conclusions, genuine discoveries);

• you may supply your conclusions with recommendations, assessments, proposals, hypotheses, as described in your paper).

You should avoid when writing your abstract:

• any phrase that duplicates the title of your paper;

• common wordings, redundant introductory phrases (for instance, the author of the article considers...), complex grammar constructions;

• commonly known arguments;

• information of historiographic nature, unless these make the main content of the paper, titles of earlier published papers.
