...Just got around to reading Tenney's comment.<br /><br />Actually, I wouldn't be too hard on Mr May-not-understand in this particular matter.<br /><br />It's surprising the number of authors who don't appreciate that, from a purely technical perspective, the abstract doesn't form part of the paper. That it just sits at the top of the paper, below the title and above the Introduction, is unfortunate and, of course, very useful.<br /><br />And the way <i>Nature</i> treats its abstracts somewhat blurs (well, obliterates) the usual technical distinction between an abstract and a paper, too.<br /><br />I'll leave the why? as an exercise ;-)<br /><i>Cymraeg llygoden</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-73859812324587577372011-09-16T22:47:25.854-04:002011-09-16T22:47:25.854-04:00Sorry I needed to add something:
The relevant sec...Sorry I needed to add something:<br /><br />The relevant section of the transcript (simply gobsmacking):<br /><br />Eric May: In the introduction section you mentioned the negative impacts to polar bears such as declination rate of sea ice, warming trends, sublethal effects of reduced sea ice on individual polar bears, and the net effect of global climate changes on polar bear populations, but you never mentioned bad weather or the storm is a potential negative or lethal effect.<br /><br />Charles Monnett: Well, that's because that's a result, and the introduction is reviewing what's already known, so you don't put something you're describing in the paper in an introduction.<br /><br />Eric May: Although we just previously discussed the abstract as a summary of your findings.<br /><br />Charles Monnett: It's a summary of the results, not the introduction. The introduction is a review of literature in the state of knowledge, generally.<br /><br />Eric May: Do you want me to read the definition of "abstract" again?
