  • Abstract
    The functions of the Abstract, Conclusions and Summary sections in engineering and scientific reports and papers are compared and contrasted. Each is found to serve a specific purpose and not to be interchangeable with the others. As an illustration mock specimens of these sections are developed and compared for Shakespeare´s Othello.
