A well-written abstract helps others to find your paper, and it encourages them to read your full manuscript. <p> Your abstract should be between 140 and 220 words in length, and clearly inform as to Introduction, Methods, Analysis, Results and Conclusions. You probably will write 2-3 short sentences for each of these categories. If your paper is not a 'standard' research paper, for instance one with a high degree of qualitative, speculative and editorial content, we will accept <BR>a non-structured abstract.<p> Here is an example for a structured abstract:<BR><BR> <FONT SIZE="-1" color="FF0000" FACE="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> <b>INTRODUCTION </b> We report a review of sustainability practices in not-for-profit, <BR>government-sponsored organizations in New Zealand. Funding shortages <BR>have been reported as drivers behind the development of sustainability practices <BR>at these entities. This study attempts to identify which sustainability characteristics <BR>can be found in this population and how effectively they are deployed.<BR><BR> <FONT SIZE="-1" color="FF0000" FACE="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> <b>METHOD </b>Web-based surveys were employed to access a large population of <br>organizations in the North Island of New Zealand. In-depth interviews were then<br> conducted, followed by structured reviews of the firm, its management and <br>all key staff. The findings were shared with the management, for additional <br>feedback.<br><br> <FONT SIZE="-1" color="FF0000" FACE="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> <b>ANALYSIS </b>We carried out quantitative and qualitative analyses on this data. <BR>We used standard SPSS statistical measures for the quantitative portion,<BR> and developed a structured table/matrix system to categorize qualitative <BR>information.<BR><BR> <FONT SIZE="-1" color="FF0000" FACE="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> <b>RESULTS </b> Sustainability is a highly non-specific term and applied differently <br>in different organizations worldwide. There is considerable attraction <br>to the notion of "remaining in business forever", but we found that the <br>approach to sustainability in practice varied greatly throughout the <br>researched population.<br><br> <FONT SIZE="-1" color="FF0000" FACE="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> <b>CONCLUSION </b> A management focus on sustainability as part of the business<BR> tactics increases the awareness of the staff as to long-term operating success.
