Your abstract should be on a page by itself immediately after your cover page – with the title or sub-title Abstract centered on top of your abstract. 4. Your paper should have a problem statement section or an introduction. This is the place where you articulate the why or the reason or the problem or concern or lacuna why you are writing your paper.
