An abstract summarizes the contents of an academic paper. Abstracts precede many articles in academic journals of the sciences and humanities. They tell the reader the point of the paper, its argument, major points and the conclusion it reaches based on its findings. The first sentence of an abstract introduces a problem or outlines a gap in current research in a particular area. In other words, it seeks to establish the relevance or significance of the paper.
