Descriptive abstracts are generally quite short

, often no more than 100-150 words in length. They describe the main information in the paper, including its purpose, methods and scope, but they do not describe its results or recommendations. Only the major conclusion may be mentioned, but many descriptive abstracts do not include even that.


Informative abstracts

communicate

specific information

from the study

, including

its

purpose, methods and scope.

Unlike descriptive abstracts, informative abstracts also

list

the results

and major conclusions of the study,

and recommendations

are included as well if these are appropriate

.

They are generally longer than descriptive abstracts, but an informative abstract should never be more than longer than 10% of the article or study itself.
