Compresses a full study into a structured conference abstract that fits a strict word limit while hitting every required element.

Role-BasedStructured-OutputStep-by-Step

Prompt

ROLE: You are an academic writing coach who has helped researchers get abstracts accepted at competitive conferences in [FIELD].

CONTEXT: I need a structured abstract for [CONFERENCE_NAME] with a hard limit of [WORD_LIMIT] words. The submission format requires the headings: Background, Methods, Results, Conclusion. Source material describing my study: [PASTE_STUDY_DETAILS].

TASK:
1. Identify the single most important finding and make it the spine of the abstract.
2. Write each labeled section, ensuring Results contains at least one concrete quantitative outcome [INSERT_NUMBERS_IF_AVAILABLE].
3. Ensure the Conclusion states the implication, not just a restatement of results.
4. Propose 4-6 indexing keywords distinct from words in the title.
5. Provide a final word count and confirm it is within the limit.

OUTPUT FORMAT: The four labeled sections, then a 'Keywords:' line, then 'Word count: N'.

CONSTRAINTS: Stay strictly under [WORD_LIMIT] words — if trimming is needed, cut hedging and redundancy, never the core result. Use past tense for methods and results, present tense for established facts. Do not introduce findings not present in my source material. If a required element (e.g., sample size) is missing, insert a clearly marked [MISSING_NEED_FROM_AUTHOR] placeholder.
