The focus of this paper is on abstract writing in research. It has been observed over the years that many researchers, particularly many Nigerian research students are just not at home with writing abstract after carrying out a research. Yet many do awkwardly present their abstract with the research proposal even when the study is yet to be done. What happens when eventually they finished the study, anxiety and confusion take over because they do not know in precise form what the structure and content of an abstract are. Therefore, readers and assessors are left to wonder whether what is before them is statement of the problem, summary of findings or literature review. Based on the above observations, this paper has clearly explained “research” and “abstract” from their proper conceptual perspectives by providing useful guidelines for acceptable abstract writing, appropriate length for abstract and the pitfalls to avoid when writing one.
