You can use the word "abstract" to identify a type of art or to describe
something that is difficult to explain. But when we talk about the abstract of an
article, we mean a brief summary.
Periodical indexes usually include abstracts that are written by the author or
by someone at the database company. Since you don't know who wrote them or how
accurate they are, you shouldn't quote from abstracts in your papers. Use
them wisely and your research will be easier.
