Conference abstracts keywords

Keywords A list of keywords is not included in a conference abstract (as it is in a journal article abstract), but it is wise to use keywords in the abstract text and title. The inclusion of keywords facilitates electronic searches, making the work more accessible to others interested in your held. 

Using the organizational structure developed in Writing on Your Own task 8B, write the first full draft of your conference abstract, title, and author list. Remember to define abbreviations and acronyms that are critical to understanding your work, incorporate keywords into your abstract and title, and use tense and voice in conventional ways. Avoid the use of citations. Make sure that you write for the appropriate audience. 

Fuel and Energy Abstracts. Available via ScienceDirect, also published bi-monthly in paper copy. Provides summaries of world literature on scientific, technical, environmental, and commercial aspects of fuel and energy. Covers over 800 international publications, monographs, conference proceedings, reports, surveys, and statistical analyses. Number of abstracts per issue can vary from 500 to 800. The online indexing is inconsistent. Individual abstracts are indexed in most issues. However, in newer issues, the citations are buried under headings, such as Liquid Euels, Heat Pumps, and Fuel Science and Technology, and cannot be retrieved without a secondary keyword search of the actual subject index of a particular issue.
