Opening elements
Abstract: 150–250 words excluding the heading and four labels: Problem and aim; Approach; Findings; Conclusions. Main argument or Synthesis may replace Findings for the appropriate manuscript type.
Keywords: 4–6 relevant terms or phrases. Contribution and implications: 3–5 labelled bullets, no more than 150 words including labels. Use Knowledge contribution; Educational and community value; Implications for CS education. A separate final Conditions and limits bullet is optional.
The abstract must state the core contribution independently; the bullets explain significance and use. No formal article-word limit applies at initial submission. Numerical article-length guidance concerns the final publication version only.
