The target of this discussion is to exchange the researchers experience to improve the writing quality of the academic journal papers, looking forward to your valuable participation.
While many Journals will have specific content requirements for Abstracts, a general guideline will be to aim for a concise description of all the major sections in your paper. Broadly, this will include a brief introduction of the topic, what your research contributes specifically to the scientific community, how your research was conducted, your findings, their implications, and your conclusion.
I agree with Michael. Also, ensure good grammar and that it is concise and understandable!
The abstract should be concise with highlight on the key finding and corresponding explanation. A few sentences are needed to point out the gap between existing researches and the current work. The significance and contribution of the the current work should be clear to readers. Great details should be avoided and placed in the main text.
An abstract is a summary of your paper.So it should start with the research objective or problem,methods,analysis and major findings all listed in a huge paragraph.Whether a reader will read the article or not will depend on the abstract.

Thank you all for your valuable replies, I want to summarize and add some more notes and details regarding the value of writing a good abstract as follows: 1- The process of writing an article is different than the way you read it. 2- The abstract should be the last section to be written in your paper. 3- The value of abstract is represented in the following points: * Usually, the reviewers only read the title and abstract before they decide to review your manuscript or not. * Abstract should attract the reader to read the details of your work. 4- The steps to write the abstract can be summarized as follows: * Check the guide for authors offered by the targeted Journal. * Abstract length should be between 200-250 words, avoid being general and vague, and it should be concise and avoid descriptive sentences. * Purpose and motivation should be included. * briefly discuss your research approach and the scope of your work. * don't implicate your findings and don't exaggerate them. * It is important to focus on the value, novelty and main contribution of your work, and discuss the limitations according to your fair analysis. 5- The graphical abstract and highlights are highly recommended fr more attraction and illustration to the reader for your work value. 6- peer review and proofreading are so important to present your work in a great shape. looking forward to see more interaction!
