Generally, there are two kinds of abstracts. They are descriptive and informative abstract. What are the differences? Here we discuss!

1.       Descriptive abstract

It resambles as an outline of the work. It indicates the type of information found in the work. It commonly includes only the scope, purpose, and methods of the research. It is usually 100 words or less in length.

2.       Informative abstract
