In terms of ranking the abstracts concerning their appropriateness, Knowledge and Information Science, Counseling and English language teaching MA abstracts were better than those of Social Sciences, Politics, and Irrigation majors. Conclusion: The research may be useful for MA students and the supervisors since they need to follow ISO 214 to write their abstracts with clarity and effectiveness.   Manuscript profile
