Abstracts pick and choose key elements of a document, without transcribing anything word for word. Extracts pick out short sections of a document, transcribing those sections verbatim. Transcriptions of a document include the entire document copied verbatim.

Abstracts, extracts, and transcriptions serve different purposes. Make certain you know which one you are using.
