its a summary and it should make sense by itself.
it's best to begin your abstract when you have completely understood your research and conclusion and wrote most of the essay. its the best to write it at the end!
Opening, background of the topic/essay and statement.
The purpose of the abstract is to summarize the entire text/essay as well there are no references/quotes, the introduction provide context. it has no sense without the rest of the text.

Could present findings as bar charts, graphs or tables, ensuring they are clear and informative. Using academic interviews could also be an effective tool to provide further information. Proper referencing should be used for both.
Results need to be relevant and link to main discussion. They should also be valid, provide references and sources for evidence.
Highlight similarities between literature review and own findings, establishing a link between the two.
Comparing research will highlight similarities between secondary and primary sources. Discuss themes and patterns by identifying a general response.

the bibliography helps you keep track of your own research and helps readers find further information on the topic. it also gives credit to the authors work that you have used in your work
the difference between a bibliography and a reference list is the bibliography references all of the sources you have used and looked at, and a reference list includes references of only the sources you have quoted.

what is 3rd person? 3rd person is talking about someone else rather than talking about yourself or addressing the person directly. Andrew has two brothers - in a sentence. He enjoyed playing football. She listened to her music. They helped each other complete the tasks.

Grammerly is used to help people communicate such confidence across a device or platform. It is an american cloud based typing assistance. Reviewing spelling, grammar, punctuation, clarity, engagement and delivery highlights error and English mistakes.

1)There are two types of literature review that are similar but have different purposes:

Part of a wider primary research project. It identifies what is currently known, sets the context of your research, identifies any gaps or areas for further development and situates you in the chain of research.
A ‘stand-alone’ literature review is secondary research which uses published research to answer a question or explore a topic. It should include a new interpretation of the existing body of work: a synthesis of the information.

2) Reading an academic source online/physcial, reviewing it - agree, disagree, how reliable is it, can the results be replicated, do other people agree with the result. You do it.

3)A scholarly source means its been peer reviewed

4)Google scholar, JSTOR, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, PunMed, Library of Congress. Universities, professional associations, academic institutions, government departments, research centres, academic search gates

5)1-2 topics/articles for 2000 words - rule of thumb 8000 word dis 8-10 significant pieces books/articles

A summary of the entire essay. It needs to make sense on its own

It helps the reader know what the content of your essay is about

Towards the end of the essay as at that point, it's written for you, it just needs to be condensed into an abstract format.

An introduction only introduces the point and themes of your essay, an abstract covers the entirety of your essay in a concise easy-to-understand format.
