Author guidline for Extended Abstract for Journal of Health and Safety at Work
In Journal of Health and Safety at Work
(JHSW), a full paper and review papers are generally about 10- 15 pages and 25-50 pages, respectively and an extended abstract has long pages from 1 to 4 (Minimum pages between 1-3 pages with figures and explanations). The abstract is generally 200 words for original papers and 300 words for review papers which are a preliminary submission that summarizes the contribution of a paper. There are usually word limits on the length of an abstract are often about 200- 300, substantially shorter than extended abstract words (less than 1600, Minimum 1000 words). The extended abstract includes; Title, Authors and Affiliations, Abstract, Introduction, Experimental procedure or Methodology, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgment, and References (The numbers of references, tables and figures are up to 8, 2 and 2, respectively based on JHSW format). In fact, the extended abstract and a full paper are nearly the same but the extended abstract tends to be shorter than a full paper. An extended abstract is not simply a long abstract. The extended abstract should contain references, comparisons to related works and other details expected in a scientific paper but not in an abstract. "An extended abstract is a research paper whose ideas and significance can be understood in short time of reading (for 10 minutes). Writing an extended abstract can be more difficult than writing a original paper, so, the extended abstract must be prepared very carefully in English.
