Abstract

With 100 CAB abstracts and their originals in Journal of Sichuan Agricultural University, we try to make a detailed study of their differences in tense, voice, patterns to indicate research results and the readability in Chinese graduates. For these Chinese graduates, it was easier to understand the abstracts by editors of CAB, who used quite different tenses, vocabularies or sentence patterns from those of the original authors. Therefore, for a better quality of the abstracts, instructors or supervisors are advised to renew their ideas about the standard of abstract writing, abstract researchers to conduct more studies on the abstracts of the latest and most influential papers and future scholars to have more practice and communications on their writings to make the abstracts up-dated.
