6. Appendix
6.1. Instructions for writing a structured abstract for Emerald
Emerald has introduced a new format for article abstracts intended to help
researchers by consistently providing the most useful information. Each abstract is made
up of a number of set elements. An example is provided at the foot of this page.
1. Write the abstract
To produce a structured abstract for the journal and Emerald database, please
complete the following fields about your paper. There are four fields which are obligatory
(Purpose, Design/methodology/approach, Findings and Originality/value); the other three
(Research limitations/implications, Practical implications, and Social implications) may be
omitted if they are not applicable to your paper. Abstracts should contain no more than
250 words. Write concisely and clearly. The abstract should reflect only what appears in
the original paper.
Purpose
What are the reason(s) for writing the paper or the aims of the research?
Design/methodology/approach
How are the objectives achieved? Include the main method(s) used for the research. What
is the approach to the topic and what is the theoretical or subject scope of the paper?
Findings
What was found in the course of the work? This will refer to analysis, discussion, or
results.
Research limitations/implications (if applicable)
If research is reported on in the paper this section must be completed and should include
suggestions for future research and any identified limitations in the research process.
Practical implications (if applicable)
What outcomes and implications for practice, applications and consequences are
identified? How will the research impact upon the business or enterprise? What changes to
practice should be made as a result of this research? What is the commercial or economic
impact? Not all papers will have practical implications.
Social implications (if applicable)
What will be the impact on society of this research? How will it influence public attitudes?
How will it influence (corporate) social responsibility or environmental issues? How could
it inform public or industry policy? How might it affect quality of life? Not all papers will
have social implications.
Originality/value
What is new in the paper? State the value of the paper and to whom.
2. Using keywords
Using keywords is a vital part of abstract writing, because of the practice of
retrieving information electronically: keywords act as the search term. Use keywords that
are specific, and that reflect what is essential about the paper. Put yourself in the position
of someone researching in your field: what would you look for? Consider also whether
you can use any of the current "buzz words".
