The writing framework of the Introduction can be understood as a “funnel structure”, which is also a process of gradually narrowing down from a broader academic field to your research goals
1. Background and Importance
Mention of previous work on the subject
A statement of the importance of the subject
The first paragraph of the introduction needs to provide the overall background and importance of the research field. To provide a breeding ground for the development and growth of the topic in this paper.
2. Introduce research gaps in this field (What Is Unknown)
Description of knowledge gap
After presenting an overview of the research field, it is natural to point out which areas we have not yet explored (or problems that have not been thoroughly studied).
3. Point out the research topic of this article (Topic Of Research Paper)
Announce the research topic/question being addressed in research paper
How it will fill the missing brick in the wall of research already done
At this point, it is necessary to pay attention to the correspondence with the research gap, that is, to go one step closer on the basis of presenting what the topic is, and briefly analyze how the topic fills the research gap.
4. Overview of the core methodology and main findings of the article (Highlight The Approach And Principal Findings)
Description of your approach and why you choose it (if needed)
Brief summary of your major findings
Not every academic field or journal has requirements for this section, but if your article mentions these two aspects according to disciplinary conventions, a concise overview can be provided in the Introduction.
5. Hypothesis and Objectives
