I wouldn’t know - never been to Norway. Hope i can get a chance soon!

Sounds about right :) happy new year!

Tip 4: Make it EASY. Avoid “empty” statements or fancy writing (that’s coming from sbd struggling with their fluffy writing habits). A good writer (in general and especially in science) does just one thing: makes sure every reader understands. Accurate, clean/short sentences, specific, **EASY**.

Tip 3: Be “conservative” (it’s the only case where I recommend it 😝). Stick to the big picture, yes, but by presenting the data that you actually have in the paper. Don’t overpromise. *Don’t present potential interpretations as results*. Don’t make a general discussion - be very specific and clear.

Tip 2: Ask yourself what you would like to read in an abstract of a study on an area that you ‘re not familiar with. The point of an abstract is not to show you have a lot of data nor present every new observation you made; it’s rather to help the reader get the major question and the major answer.

3rd: conclusion/impact/implications
1 sentence is often enough; sometimes 2 are necessary. Provide a short, concise conclusion - what is the punchline? Do you have sth *important* to comment on regarding implications? Could be therapeutic implications or a finding that changes a dogma. Be specific.

Thank you - to you, too!
