You can shorten your abstract by not using cumbersome or excessively long sentences. Avoiding the following five things is an easy way to make your text more concise.

If you struggle with keeping your writing concise, consider using our professional proofreading service or one of our AI writing tools like the summarizer or the paraphrasing tool. Our editors are ready to help you shorten your sentences and avoid repetition.

1. Avoid passive sentences

Passive sentences are often unnecessarily long. You can easily make them both shorter and clearer by transforming them into active sentences.

To make a passive sentence active, reword it so that the person or thing doing the action comes before the verb. Also, make sure that an active verb (without an auxiliary) is used.

2. Avoid the noun style

Using the “noun style” often makes a sentence unnecessarily long or difficult to understand. It’s therefore advisable to utilize the “verb style” instead.

3. Avoid long sentences

Many students write unnecessarily long sentences that include superfluous words and elaborate constructions. Try to write shorter, stronger sentences instead.

4. Avoid repetition

It’s likely that you are repeating yourself more than you think. Reading your abstract aloud might help you to discover repetition that you had not caught before.

Replacing nouns with pronouns and combining two sentences into one are often easy ways to shorten your text by reducing repetition.

5. Avoid detailed descriptions

An abstract is not expected to provide detailed definitions or background information on your dissertation topic. Keeping this in mind may help you to keep your summary short.

6. Only include the main elements
