Tips for writing an Tips for writing an IntroductionIntroduction
![Page 24: Workshop Writing Scientific Papers: Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813608550346895d9d7d86/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Don't review all studies that have ever been published on the topic
Keep paragraphs short
![Page 25: Workshop Writing Scientific Papers: Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813608550346895d9d7d86/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
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](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813608550346895d9d7d86/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
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](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813608550346895d9d7d86/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Emphasize how your study fills in the gaps (the unknown)
![Page 28: Workshop Writing Scientific Papers: Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813608550346895d9d7d86/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
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](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813608550346895d9d7d86/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
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](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813608550346895d9d7d86/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
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](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813608550346895d9d7d86/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Yes, you can use passive voice!
But, keep it to a minimum!
