When writing a paper, the Introduction section is often overlooked. This is because international students may be busy collecting and analyzing data, or may feel a bit confused when understanding and digesting the research direction and goals of their mentors. However, a good Introduction can make the paper more readable and logical, allowing mentors and readers to better understand and accept the conclusions of the paper. The following are some points that international students should pay attention to when writing an Introduction:
1. Consistency
The style of the Introduction should be consistent with the overall paper, including language expression and academic style. If the introduction is too personal or uses non academic language, it will undermine the academic and rigorous nature of the paper.
2. Purpose and background
The Introduction section should clearly express the purpose and background of the research, especially the theoretical and experimental foundations, so that readers can better understand the motivation and necessity of the research.
3. Raise and deepen questions
An important role of Introduction is to raise questions and deepen them. It is necessary to introduce appropriate questions to guide readers to think, but it is necessary to use professional language, highlight problem awareness, and avoid problems such as long length, unclear themes, and unclear levels.
4. Revealing core viewpoints
The final part of the Introduction should reveal the core points of the paper, allowing readers to have a comprehensive understanding of the paper. In the conclusion section, objectively state the research results, summarize the significance of the results, and provide explanations when key innovative symbols appear in the main text.
5. Consider other relevant research
It is necessary to briefly review research in the relevant field in the Introduction, so that readers can understand the position of research in the entire field and attract more readers.
6. Editing and Proofreading
Finally, the Introduction needs to be carefully edited and proofread to ensure its completeness and accuracy.
Common introduction writing problems include vague background information, unclear innovation points, and inability to distinguish between one’s own achievements and the contributions of others.
So, careful editing and proofreading are important.
The above are several points that international students need to pay attention to when writing an Introduction paper. During the writing process, international students should pay attention to the above points, constantly revise and improve the Introduction section, so as to enable supervisors and readers to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the paper.
