My model for writing abstracts is used for practically every empirical article I write. It is based on studying a lot of highly-cited articles!

I haven’t written academic English before I started my #phd program, while reading papers I also try to learn academic English (English is my L2) and save articles that I feel are great examples to learn from. Here is an abstract from @asta_haukas I have favorited.

This fantastic book arrived today!! Feels great to finally see it and touch it and read it! 😊 In my chapter, I argue that we are all multilingual. And that only thinking of students with immgrant backgrounds as multilingual likely slows down the multilingual turn in schools.

One of my first articles written in English now has 500 citations. Why? Perhaps because: 1. It's among the earliest on this topic (find a gap). 2. I listed the main findings in the abstract (make it easy to cite). 3. People say it's reader-friendly.
