This paper provided a guide to good abstract writing for medical science articles using examples published in a range of journals. By giving a definition of a good abstract, it highlighted the purposes, features, and structure of a good medical science abstract, and illustrated these with examples culled from articles published in peer reviewed journals. The unique features of each section were stressed as well as the need for brevity, objectivity, comprehensiveness, logical organization, good grammatical writing, and compliance with journal’s specifications with respect to word length and structure.
