An index heading is a short phrase placed at the top which indicates the subject of the paper. The full citation of the article then follows. Standard abbreviations for names of journals can be used. It should be a concise statement of the principal contents of the paper. Include 2-3 additional references which are particularly relevant to the presentation.
Students are responsible for preparing their abstracts.
There are computers and printers available for student use in several locations throughout the School of Public Health. At that time the abstract should be in nearly final form. If you are unable to make this deadline, you will be responsible for making copies and bringing them to the presentation for distribution to the faculty and students. This is an oral report and evaluation of the contents of the selected article and the presentation should focus on the article. Do not read directly from a prepared manuscript.
