Abstracts as Poetry in Journal Articles: A Call for a New Paradigm in Scholarly Communication

In scholarly realms, wherein prose prevails,A new voice rises, as poetry sails.The abstract once rigid, confined by form,Now dances with rhythm, defying the norm. This article calls for a shift in the frame, Wherein abstract and verse can become the same. For when ideas transcend simple prose, Poetry or metapoetry bestows. Through verse, we distill complex thought,Making ideas more easily caught.For readers who yearn for depth and grace,Poetic abstracts offer a welcoming space. A reflection on the writing’s role,In capturing research, both heart and soul.Abstracts as poems, clear yet profound,Engage the intellect and emotions unbound. So let this metapoem serve as a sign,That scholarly work and art can align.For abstracts in poetry bridge the divide,Between logic’s structure and feeling’s tide. At the core of this call lies a philosophical aim, Critical dialectical pluralism guiding the frame. Embracing all methods, diverse voices blend, Poetic abstracts as a means to transcend. So I urge the style guides that set the academic stage, To welcome poetic abstracts on journal articles’ first page. Not just to allow, but also to give them the space, For creativity both to enrich and to grace. In rhyme and rhythm, knowledge can share, Research with beauty, and scholars who care. Let both prose and poetry take their place, Elevating scholarship with thoughtful embrace.
