Abstract structure

Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, 2012, vol. 25, issue 8, 1377-1377

Abstract: Purpose - Reflects on the process of summarising research. Design/methodology/approach - A musical structure is used as a trope for the usual research cycle of distilling reams of data into a short article that is sectioned into meaningful chunks, all of which is summarised in an abstract and represented by a few keywords. Findings - The reductive process ultimately sublates the empirical world to a series of keywords. Research limitations/implications - Provides a reflexive break to academic work. Originality/value - Reflects on the experience of summarising a lengthy research project to a few keywords. Hopefully, the thing is read at the end.
