Metacognitive Analysis #12.

An article is a useful tool that may be used to teach, inform or amuse the reader on a topic.Articles may appear in magazines, newspapers, the Internet, etc. As any other type of writing, creating an article involves certain steps to follow. In the first place, we should think of an eye catching title to attract readers’ attention. The second step is to write the introduction of the article in which we define the topic of our piece of writing. Following the introduction, the main body should be written to develop the topic, and last, but not least, the conclusion paragraph should summarise the topic of our article.

ABSTRACTS Metacognitive Analysis # 13. An abstract is a short text that comprises the main concepts of a paper;it is not a simple summary of a document. An abstract should contain the purpose of the paper, the problem that the work attempts to solve; the major findings found as a result of the analysis; and a brief summary of the conclusions. In this sense, it is relevant to highlight that the main purpose of an abstract is to provide  readers with the most salient ideas of the work.In consequence,  readers can evaluate and decide whether the content of the research is relevant and useful in their own research. Moreover, an abstract should allow the readers to get enough information about the paper without requiring them to read the actual document. Accordingly, a good abstract requires accuracy; brevity and clarity, and it must be written in a formal style.
