sci-abstract

separate

Use when writing the two front-matter artifacts Science (AAAS) demands — the one-sentence summary for the table of contents and the ≤125-word single-paragraph abstract — both readable by any scientist and both leading with the quantified advance rather than the method. Late-stage polish skill for the flagship AAAS weekly.

When to use

• writing the one-sentence summary for the table of contents
• writing the ≤125-word single-paragraph abstract
• polishing abstracts to lead with quantified advances
• replacing method recaps with results
• ensuring readability for any scientist
• formatting for the flagship AAAS weekly

When not to use

• writing structured clinical abstracts with subheadings
• importing NEJM/JAMA structured-abstract templates
• early-stage drafting before significance and framing are settled
