How-To(sday): How to Write a Paper or Conference Proposal Abstract
By Karen Kelsky | July 12, 2011

Tuesdays I will occasionally feature “How-To(sday)” posts,  short  guides to certain genres of academic writing.  I’m happy to take requests for these. Just email me at gettenure@gmail.com.

Today we look at the paper/conference proposal abstract.  This is a critical genre of writing for scholars in the humanities and social sciences.  Usually between 200 and 500 words long, it is a short abstract that describes research/a talk/a journal article that you are GOING to write.  This is in contrast to the abstract of the research/dissertation/article that you have already written.
We can help with your conference abstract. Get in touch.

Mastering the paper abstract is one of the most important skills you can acquire while still a graduate student.  Learn the tricks of the paper abstract and you have the ticket in hand to a steady ride of conference and publishing opportunities.  These are the conferences and publications that a few years down the line, set your c.v. apart from your peers, and land you that job.

The paper abstract is highly formulaic.  Let’s break it down.  It needs to show the following:
1) big picture problem or topic widely debated in your field.
2) gap in the literature on this topic.
3) your project filling the gap.
4) the specific material that you examine in the paper.
5) your original argument.
6) a strong concluding sentence.

Each of these six elements is mostly likely contained in a single sentence.

Call for Papers Now Open for ptc (Pipeline Technology Conference) 2023

Interested speakers are invited to submit an abstract (max. 300 words) describing the main ideas of their paper together with the presenter’s CV (max. 200 words).

    Abstracts should not focus on company presentation but on technical/managerial classifications, R&D, new technologies or recent case studies.
    Your abstract should avoid the use of a language that is commercial in tone.
    Joint presentations between pipeline operators and technology providers are welcome.
    If you have already presented this abstract in the past, you can still submit it, but you must indicate when and where it was presented in the past.
    All abstracts will be reviewed in the ptc Advisory Committee.
    Confirmed speakers are requested to provide a multi-page conference paper for publication in the conference proceedings.
    All speakers are invited to join the exclusive ptc Meetup on 8 May together with the members of the advisory committee, session chairs, sponsors and exhibitors.

Each speaker gets a presentation time of 20 minutes. Papers will be published via the official ptc smartphone app and distributed to the conference attendees. All abstracts, papers and the approved recordings will also be published in our ptc Pipeline Open Knowledge Base.

All speakers are requested to register for a regular conference ticket (confirmed speakers from pipeline operators / municipalities attend free-of-charge, poster session presenters benefit from a reduced entrance fee).

Technical papers by authors who do not attend the conference in Berlin to present their papers may be excluded from publication in the ptc Pipeline Open Knowledge Base. In special circumstances, it will be possible to hold lectures online.
