Question

Welcome to Judge Ima Meany’s court where the law of the land is academic presentation in full APA format. On the docket today is Ms. Sheza Wright who is facing charges of violating APA format by presenting an abstract that was 503 words in length. Her accuser, Mr. Hezanot Wrong states the writer is deliberately obstructing readers from the main point and the true purpose of the abstract.

Your job as chief prosecutor is to do some research on the APA abstract, determine if there are any minimums or maximums and in a 200 word response, argue for one side or the other. Include your own viewpoint on this by contemplating ‘can a long abstract detract from the overall presentation?’

It does not include any judge the research, neither does it provide any positive or negative comments about the research. The abstract has to be concise and coherent.
