Where You Can Find Help
Focus on Audience
Write the abstract for readers who understand the underlying technical aspects of your report. Provide the details that the people who will be involved in the actual work involved will understand (e.g., engineers, scientists). You are giving technically-savvy readers the information to confirm your approach and understand your plan from a working point of view.
