Guidelines for Abstracting Technical Literature on Instructional System Development.
Abstract
Guidelines are presented for preparing abstracts of technical literature on instructional systems development (ISD). Although specifically developed for abstracting information during the preparation of a technical data file on ISD, the guidelines are sufficiently general to apply to other areas in which abstracts of technical literature are desired. For abstracting purposes, the literature was divided into two catagories: (1) Type I and (2) Type II documents. The first category includes opinion articles, methodological developments, evaluative summaries, literature reviews, and bibliographies. The second category includes statistical sampling studies, correlational research, and research studies in which variables are manipulated. Both types of abstract are prepared on the same general form. A sample of the abstract form and examples of a completed Type I and Type II abstracts are included. The sample form permits the most important characteristics of a document to be synthesized to facilitate the computerization of the technical data file. (Author)
