Journal articles, abstract describing

The Project Summary is not the same as a journal article abstract (chapter 7) or a conference abstract (chapter 8), even though the Project Summary is sometimes called an abstract. The Project Summary summarizes work that has yet to be done and is written for a scientific audience. The journal article abstract summarizes work that has already been done and is written for an expert audience. The conference abstract describes work in progress and is written for a scientific audience. Because the Project Summary reiterates the major aspects of the proposed work, it is written last, after the Projection Description has been completed. For that reason, this chapter comes last in the research proposal module. 

Verb tenses Verb tenses in the abstract are consistent with conventions used in other sections of the journal article. Past tense is used to refer to work completed in the past and to describe results ... 

Moves 2 and 3 of the conference abstract also parallel the moves of the journal article Introduction. Move 2 points out a gap in the field (e.g., a problem that needs to be solved, work that needs to be done) and serves as a transition to move 3, which describes the work to be presented. Depending on the goals of the project, different aspects of the work may be highlighted. In some instances, methods will be emphasized in others, results will be the focus of attention. When possible and appropriate, numerical data should be included in the conference abstract. If this is not possible, because you are still completing parts of the work, at least state in the abstract what data will be presented at the conference (e.g., Arsenic levels from two different lakes will be reported. ). Results are the... 

More recently, nontraditional polymerization strategies have evolved to produce a fourth new major polymer architectural class, now referred to as dendritic polymers. This new architectural polymer class consists of four major subsets, namely (a) random hyperbranched, (b) dendrigrafts, (c) dendrons, and (d) dendrimers. Dendrimers, the most extensively studied subset, were discovered by the Tomalia group while at The Dow Chemical Company laboratories (1979). They represent the first example of synthetic, macro-molecular dendritic architecture [33,34]. First use of the term dendrimer appeared in preprints for the 1st SPSJ International Polymer Conference held in Kyoto, Japan (1984). The following year, a full article Polymer Journal, Vol. 17, No. 1, pp. 117-132 (1985)) (see article abstract. Fig. 42.7) described the first preparation of a complete family of... 

Each reference is indexed so that retrieval can be by title of the article or publication by authors, both personal and corporate and by journal title. Publisher, data publication and pagination are also given. Where the title is inadequate, extra keywords are added to describe the document more fully. All journal articles have an abstract of up to 100 words. One of the advantages of using computerized information services is that, for an individual with a particular subject interest, a profile or key words can be logged into the computer, and regular access to the relevant database, using these keywords or profile, will produce a printout of any new items on that particular subject. This saves much research time and effort. ... 

There is a considerable amount of literature dealing with hexaarylbiimidazoles (HABIs). References to these compounds were found in over 130 journal articles as shown in Chemical Abstracts (CA) there were about 1050 patents abstracted in Chemical Abstracts. Most significantly, a very large database exists in the issued (over 1200) and applied patents (over 500) that can be examined on the U.S. Patent and Trade Mark Office website. Several chapters in survey books describe various aspects of HABI Chemistry. 

This leads to the question of who should be considered the ultimate discoverer of a chemical element Should it be the first person to describe the initial properties, the one who found the oxide or the metal, the one who separated the element or the first one to publish their results On the matter of publication, the Swedish chemist Jons Jacob Berzelius published an annual review (equivalent to our present abstract service) during the early nineteenth century. Berzelius usually cited articles published in other journals, but he also reported on the work in his laboratory which had not yet been published. This enabled his assistant Carl-Gustav Mosander to receive early credit for work that Mosander chose not to formally publish until many years later after he had worked out all of the details. In the element review, we shall see that the answer to the above questions would be any of the above criteria could qualify for discovery of particular elements. 

The importance of abstracting Japanese scientific articles, otherwise wholly or partially inaccessible because of the linguistic barrier, was recognized early by the German Chemisches Zentralblatt, the American Chemical Abstracts the Journal of the Chemical Society London) (abstracts 1871-1925), and the British Chemical Abstracts. Since its first appearance in 1907, Chemical Abstracts has given increasing attention to Japanese chemical literature. This is described by the editor, E. J. Crane, in two articles 8, 9) from which the following statistics are taken. 

Two students, Denby and Scott, began their quest at the library with a computer search for analytical methods. Searching through Chemical Abstracts and using caffeine and chocolate as key words, they uncovered numerous articles in chemistry journals. The articles, High Pressure Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Theobromine and Caffeine in Cocoa and Chocolate Products described a procedure suitable for the equipment available in their laboratory. 

There is a third type of publication which it would be more correct to describe as an index than as an abstract journal. Here the entry consists of the title of the article, either as it stands or in an expanded form, with the addition of the author s name and the journal reference. The entries in this form of publication are most commonly arranged under alphabetical subject headings. 

Abstracts of analytical chemistry can be found in the general abstracting journals already described and in Analytical Abstracts (Fig. 27) published for the Society for Analytical Chemistry since 1954 as an independent publication, and previously issued as section C of British Abstracts and in the Analyst. This is a monthly publication with world coverage having annual author and subject indexes. Wherever possible authors addresses are included with indication of the language of the original article where this is not obvious. These excellent informative abstracts which are also available printed on one side only of the paper so as to be suitable for inclusion into reference systems are... 

The Journal of Molecular Modeling (Springer-Verlag) is very similar in nature to Chemical Educator in its policies and practices. It is described as the first fully electronic Journal in chemistry - the advanced way of publishing . The Journal of Molecular Modeling further states that it is the first Journal in chemistry to offer network, print based, and CD-ROM editions. The Journal is fully citable with CAS-abstract, ISI citation, and ISSN (0948-5023) . It does not state how a print-based journal is fully electronic. Again, articles are not published when ready (after peer review and corrections), but rather as part of the print mentality of a regular monthly issue. This Journal does already have a few clear benefits. The two main features of value to the reader of this Journal are that structures often come with x,y,z coordinate files so they may be downloaded and manipulated by the reader and there is a much more rapid publication time for an article which means that new information is made available much more quickly to the reader.
