RULES FOR COMPLETING SUMMARY FOR ARTICLES
Summary (summary) is one of the types of abbreviated forms of presenting a scientific text. The purpose of a summary is to attract the reader’s attention, to awaken the reader’s interest using minimal linguistic means: by communicating the essence of the research and its novelty. Both should be stated in the resume, not implied. All scientific articles in the journal must have author’s abstracts.
A summary is a special genre of scientific presentation of a text that determines the structure of its content. The genre difference between a summary and an article implies a difference in the form of presentation. If the article should contain the logic of reasoning and evidence of a certain thesis, then the summary should contain a statement of the results of the analysis and evidence. Thus, the wording in the text of the resume should be generalized, but informative, i.e. constructed according to predicates (“what is said”), and not according to thematic concepts (“what is said”).
There are requirements for the volume of the resume and the structure of the content. For articles published in the journal “Bulletin of the DSEA”, the optimal volume of the author’s summary in Russian and English is 500-900 characters with spaces.
It is common practice in the world to reflect a summary of the article in author’s summaries. Sometimes the structure of the article is preserved in the summary – introduction, goals and objectives, research methods, results, conclusion (conclusions).
Poor-quality author’s summaries in articles repeat the title of the article in content, are full of general words, do not state the essence of the study, and are unacceptably short.
The summary is always accompanied by keywords. A keyword is a word in a text that, together with other keywords, can represent the text. Keywords are used primarily for search purposes. The set of publication keywords (search image of the article) is close to a resume. CV texts with keywords must be presented in Russian and English.
A high-quality author’s resume in English allows you to:
- for a foreign scientist to become familiar with the contents of the article and determine interest in it, regardless of the language of the article and the availability of the opportunity to read its full text;
- to overcome the language barrier for a scientist who does not know Russian;
- increase the likelihood of the article being cited by foreign colleagues
The author’s summary in Russian is compiled for scientists who read in Russian. High-quality author’s summaries are a necessity in an information-oversaturated environment.
