1. What’s known?1. What’s known?

Introduce the research topic or issue

Define the terminology, if need be

Relate the topic to the existing research (literature)

Tips for writing an Tips for writing an IntroductionIntroduction

Page 24: Workshop Writing Scientific Papers: Introduction

Don't review all studies that have ever been published on the topic

Keep paragraphs short

Page 25: Workshop Writing Scientific Papers: Introduction

Write for a general audience a clear, concise, non-technical text

--> Describe the approach used in sufficient detail so that a reader who is not familiar with the technique will understand what was done and why

Page 26: Workshop Writing Scientific Papers: Introduction

Take the reader step by step from what is known to what is unknown. End with your specific question

Known --> Unknown --> Question

Page 27: Workshop Writing Scientific Papers: Introduction

Emphasize how your study fills in the gaps (the unknown)

Page 28: Workshop Writing Scientific Papers: Introduction

Explicitly and clearly state your research question/aim/hypothesis:

“We asked whether …” “Our hypothesis was …” “We tested the hypothesis that …” “Our aim/s was/were …” “We face this challenge by

focusing our analysis on …” ...

Page 29: Workshop Writing Scientific Papers: Introduction

Do not answer the research question (no results or implications)

--> Controversial: you can mention very briefly the conclusion of the paper!

Page 30: Workshop Writing Scientific Papers: Introduction

Summarize at the end at a high level!

Leave detailed descriptions, speculations, and criticisms of particular studies for the discussion/related works

Page 31: Workshop Writing Scientific Papers: Introduction

Yes, you can use passive voice!

But, keep it to a minimum!
