Abstract
Answer
Definition:
A summary or brief description of a much longer work. It does not provide a critical evaluation.
In databases abstracts are often provided for articles and sometimes for books.
They are usually found on the main page where the citation information is available.
They can help you determine if something will be useful for your own paper without having to read the entire work.
