A good abstract is like a good ad.  You’ve got just a minute or two to convince readers that your paper is worth their time.  But all too often, authors give their titles and abstracts short shrift.

In this free, hour-long web conference, David P. Stevens, editor of the journal Quality and Safety in Health Care, explains the nuts and bolts of writing a great title and abstract.  You’ll learn:

   - What every abstract should contain

   - What makes some abstracts compelling
     and others just average

   - Why “Snakes on a Plane” is a better
     title than “There Will Be Blood”
