Discussion Rebuttal 2

 The author offers a satisfactory and compelling argument on the importance of an abstract in research work publishing. The primary role of an abstract is to summarize, describe, sort, and index a scientific paper or research work. It highlights the key sections or points from the major sections of the paper and explains what the paper includes with sufficient detail to expedite categorizing the paper as relevant to readers’ interest and clinical work. Abstracts are vital because they help index articles in online biomedical and clinical databases and also facilitate retrieval and review of research papers.1 Effective abstraction is challenging because it must be sufficient and compelling enough to attract journal editors who screen hundreds to thousands of abstracts yearly to screen research work and clinical papers for preliminary consideration.1

Editors reviewing the manuscript focus on the abstract, and poor-quality abstract can dissuade the best experts from taking their time and effort to review and improve a paper because it would take more time to complete the peer review.1 The abstract gives the initial impression about the paper, although other parts of the paper are equally important, and a poor abstract can relegate the research work to literature search obscurity or discourage readers from putting the paper on their reading list.1 Also, potential referees concentrate on the abstract when invited by editors to review a paper. I would also stress the need to develop attractive and compelling titles because readers begin with the title before moving to the abstract.

The author presents a compelling argument on group cohesiveness and how leadership can ensure group success. Cohesiveness is an essential factor in a group, and it helps ensure continued functionality and successful completion of group activities. Leaders play the primary role in ensuring the group remains together and members work like a team to realize group objectives.1 However, I posit that group members are more critical in promoting group cohesiveness under the leader’s guidance. The leader creates a plan and facilitates a collaborative environment, while group members play the other part of working collaboratively, communicating effectively, sharing knowledge and information, and helping each other grow and become better to realize group and individual goals and objectives.

Leaders cannot be everywhere at the same time monitoring activities and ensuring group members link and develop bonds with one another and with the whole group. Members must be willing to establish social relations, task relations, perceived unity, and emotions to build cohesiveness. Therefore, the primary role of a leader in ensuring the group grows closer and becomes more collaborative is offering and supervising best practices for group work, facilitating an environment that fosters relationship building between members, and by this, leaders should be easily approachable, provide positive feedback, match skills with the job, communicate effectively, and most importantly develop leadership in others. Chen and Rybak argue that cultivating leadership in group members is critical to ensuring group cohesiveness and success as a collective action.1 By empowering group members to develop relationships and work at their full potential, a leader is able to ensure a successful group process.
