Abstract Guidelines
An abstract is a brief summary of a research article about a paragraph in length. Only articles pertaining to a disease or disease treatment from peer-reviewed journals can be used. If you don't know what a peer-reviewed journal is, ask a reference librarian at Henderson Library! They would love to help. Peer-reviewed journals require that the article be reviewed by experts to verify its validity and accuracy. A few examples of peer-reviewed journals are: The American Journal of Nursing, The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Science, and Nature. Articles from websites such as "Medical News Weekly", "The Nature Freak's Nutritional Blog and Cat Fancy" and "Healthy Can Be Fun!" are not acceptable because there is no quality control over what gets published.
