Abstract

This field is intended for the abstract of the article that must contain between 180 and 300 words. The items resumo, palavras-chave, PACS, title, abstract, and keywords constitute the first page (i.e., they must not extend to the following page). The abstract should make a concise presentation of the scientific-technical article, containing an introduction, the objective, a synthesis of the methodology, the main result and the final conclusion (preferably in that order). Thus, the reader may acknowledge the essence of the article content. Remember that the abstract is like a movie trailer, people will consider reading the complete article if the abstract is interesting. The abstract should not contain new information not contained within the article; undefined abbreviations; previous discussion of another literature; references and citations or excessive detail about the methods employed. It is also not the introductory paragraph of the work; this should be placed at the beginning of the text. Use only relevant and useful information, exercising empathy with prospective readers. For a cohesive, elegant abstract that represents the article, write a preview, write the paper completely, and then review it by looking at whether its content consistently reflects the content of the document. Following the abstract, the author should list up to 5 keywords (avoid using the same words contained in the article’s title). After this step, there are also the PACS, which are a hierarchical classification system (more details within the text) and, finally, title, abstract and keywords in English (PACS are only put after resumo in portuguese contributions).
