I use this simple strategy for my abstract writing and it has been helpful.

* A general knowledge about the area

* Sentence on problem statement or gap the study intends to address in literature

*Objective of the study

* Statement on the method adopted and analysis procedure.

* Major findings/results from the study

* Key message the study conveys. I call this a punch line statement. Others may write about a key recommendation or practice and theoretical implication of the study results.

initially choose the topic which you need to write followed by its overall content in two lines and its important why you have choosen the topic its importance and your outcome

The guidance/discussions as per the following publications/link should be helpful:

I have little knowledge on other disciplines, especially the physical sciences. But the format I shared with you is applicable in most social science disciplines.
