Abstracting

The abstracting of a research paper facilitates its faster discovery. By availing abstracting services, authors can make it possible for readers to discover their work easily and quickly, by using metadata and abstract information. This promotes the easy identification and consumption of even the most nuanced academic literature. The inputting of metadata such as the -

title of the paper/article,
name of author/authors,
data of publication,
title of the journal,
volume and issue number,
page number,
subject area,
keywords,
DOI, etc,

all help in the quick compilation of links to the most relevant articles, papers, books, chapters, and passages, thereby making it easy for a reader to find exactly what he/she is looking for.
