Abstract
Insert abstract here; it should not exceed one page. Abstract text must be double-spaced with no paragraph breaks. Theses can be divided into two groups: those that report a proposal for a research study and those that report a completed study in which data were collected and analyzed. Thus, the abstract for the proposal thesis should include the elements for the proposal stage described in the abstract guidelines, available at http://inside.waldenu.edu/c/Files/DocsWritingCenter/Abstract_guidelines.doc, whereas the abstract for the completed study thesis should include all the elements described for the final study. Here are some form and style tips: (a) Limit the abstract to one typed page; (b) maintain the scholarly language used throughout the thesis; (c) keep the abstract concise, accurate, and readable; (d) use correct English; (e) ensure each sentence adds value to the reader’s understanding of the research; and (f) use the full name of any acronym used again in the abstract, and include the acronym in parentheses. Do not include references or citations in the abstract. Per APA style, unless at the start of a sentence, use numerals in the abstract, not written out numbers. For more guidance on writing this paragraph, consult the Abstract Primer (available at http://researchcenter.waldenu.edu/).
