Resume

How to write resume 250 words

• get key words
• get goal

• Do not commence with "this paper...”, "this report..." or similar. It is better to write

about the research than about the paper.

• Avoid sentences that end in "...is described", "...is reported", "...is

analyzed" or similar.

• Do not begin sentences with "it is suggested that...” "it is believed that...", "it is felt

that..."or similar. In every case, the four words can be omitted without damaging the essential message.

• Do not repeat or rephrase the title.
• Do not refer in the abstract to information that is not in the document.
• If possible, avoid trade names, acronyms, abbreviations, or symbols. You would need to

explain them, and that takes too much room.

• The abstract should be about the research, not about the act of writing

background

What is already known about the subject, related to the paper in question

Motivation/problem statement/goal

Why do we care about the problem? What practical, scientific, theoretical or artistic gap is your research filling? What is already known about the subject, and hence what the study intended to examine)

approach, methods, procedure

• What did you actually do to get your results?
• analyzed 3 novels, completed a series of 5 oil paintings, interviewed 17 students. It should contain enough information to enable the reader to understand what was done, and how (sample size, numbers of patients in different groups, doses of medications, and duration of the study)

results/findings/product

As a result of completing the above procedure, what did you learn/invent/create? Kакви са заключенията/ резултатите от това изследване?, Какво е новото, кое е откритието? =>

significance of the result

Conclusion/implications: What are the larger implications of your findings, especially for the problem/gap identified in step 1? Какво е значението на тези заключения?

tense

When it comes to tenses, I teach along the line of Moore/Tsuda: A Pratical Guide to the Use of Scientific English. They have laid down the following guidelines relating the outline of a typical paper. Abstract: generally, use the simple past (or for a concise introductory phrase the present perfect); for general statements and facts use the present tense. Introduction: use a mixture of present and past tense; the present tense is applied when you are talking about something that is always true; the past tense is used for earlier research efforts, either by your own or by another group. If the time of demonstration is unknown or not important, use the present perfect. For the concluding statements of your introduction use the simple past; you may use the past perfect, when you talk about something that was true in the past but is no longer so. Methods: here you generally use the passive voice in the simple past. Results: simple past and present tense should be employed here, but when you refer to figures and tables you use the present tense, since they continue to exist in your paper ;); you can mix active and passive voice. Discussion: use the simple past for your own findings and the perfect tense for cited information; the present tense is also acceptable, if you prefer that one (in such statements as ‘We can conclude that …’. Moore/Tsuda do not talk about a section that I often use as a last paragraph before acknowledgements: Conclusions and Further work: use present perfect to make clear that your statements still hold at the time of reading; for further work the future tense (or the present) is acceptable.
