Academic writing begins

I am believer...blogs can be source of knowledge

I have been wondering for a while about the abstract and a strong conclusion. But I have been busy with work and others could not find useful and handy information about them

In this link there is a good answer about these two

In short,

-have a punchy conclusion (as well as a punchy intro)

-check the list that Zoe has written about what to include in the abstract. it is very useful

however there are more things to consider

the use of "I argue"

not to use "It seems that" ouch!
