1. What is the significance of an introduction?
The introduction is the initial part of any academic paper. Its purpose is to introduce the research topic, provide background information, and outline its purpose and importance. Preferably, it includes a brief description of the background, subject of investigation, objectives and methodology. This helps to understand the context of the study, lays the groundwork for subsequent sections, and arouses the reader’s interest in the content. The purpose of this section is to present an interesting starting point that leads the reader on to the rest of the article.

1. Establishing the research context
Begin by linking your research by presenting current and relevant issues and existing research findings. You can elaborate on key concepts, theoretical frameworks, or industry trends to help readers understand the focus of your research.
2. Identify the research question
In the middle section of the introduction, identify your research question or objective precisely. Explain the central question of your research, its importance, and why this question needs to be investigated. Articulate existing research gaps or problems in the field and how your research will address them.
3. answer your research objectives and methodology
Finally, articulate the goals of your research and the methodology to achieve them. Describe the overall structure and methodology of your study, as well as the main techniques, data collection methods, or analysis techniques used in your study.
4. outline the overall structure of the thesis
Finally, briefly outline the structure and organisation of the whole thesis. List the main elements/objectives of each chapter and clarify how they align with the research questions and objectives.
