An abstract is a succinct summary of a longer piece of work, usually academic in nature, which is published in isolation from the main text and should therefore stand on its own and be understandable without reference to the longer piece. It should report the latter's essential facts, and should not exaggerate or contain material that is not there. Its purpose is to act as a reference tool (for example in a library abstracting service), enabling the reader to decide whether or not to read the full text.
To produce a structured abstract for the journal and Emerald database, please complete the following fields about your paper. There are four fields which are obligatory (Purpose, Design/methodology/approach, Findings and Originality/value); the other three (Research limitations/implications, Practical implications, and Social implications) may be omitted if they are not applicable to your paper. Write concisely and clearly. The abstract should reflect only what appears in the original paper.
The Institute currently produces the following working paper series:
* IDPM General Discussion Papers
* Development Economics and Public Policy Working papers
* Development Informatics Working Papers
* iGovernment - Information, Systems, Technology and Government Working Papers
* Management in Development Working Papers
* Rural Resources/Rural Livelihoods Working Papers
Most papers in these series are available for download in MS Word or PDF format. All papers can also be ordered in printed format from IDPM.
