General Problems of English Abstract Writing of Sci-tech Periodicals
YI Bi-wu · 2004
The English abstract of sci-tech periodicals must be independent of the original Chinese articles for the sake of the objectiveness, accuracy and the key information equivalent to the original articles, which serve for the use of non-Chinese readers, researchers on the sci-tech information and the computer searching systems. The standard English abstract must use appropriate words and brief sentences, based on the accurate understanding of the original technical articles; in the meanwhile, the attention should be paid to the proper use of tense and the density of the whole context.
