I need help writing an introduction for my research paper. All that is needed is the introduction right now. Below is the information that was given to me to write the introduction.
Introduction.
The purpose of this section is to illustrate that you have a good grasp of the context of your research question and that your approach is supported by a solid rationale (e.g., It has been previously shown that X is affected by Ycitation, therefore, we set out to determine what specific factors of X alter the expression of Y).
A simple way to think of an intro is this: what is already known, what are the gaps in our knowledge, what you did to fill in those gaps. Select the two or three key concepts related to your experiment and briefly explain them.
You should use 6 to 10 succinct sentences to convey this information. You can use multiple paragraphs. In general, a new subject means a new paragraph.
Cite your information sources within the text by putting a number that corresponds to the publication as a superscript (e.g., Blah blah1). The number corresponds to the order in which the publications are cited in the text (and I strongly recommend using a citation manager, such as Zotero or Mendeley, to format your in-text citations and your reference section). Use the formatting style outlined in the references section of this document.
A good introduction naturally leads into a research objective/hypothesis by going from general information to your specific objective (think of an upside-down triangle).
In the last 2 or 3 sentences of your introduction, state your rationale and hypothesis, which should portray the relationship you expect to find between the independent and dependent variables. You should end by outlining your basic approach in the experiment.
*Have a rationale for your hypothesis. The rationale is usually included in the introduction, written in one or two sentences after the background information and before the hypothesis. The rationale must be clearly stated and express the reasoning that led you to the proposal of your specific hypothesis. It should be grounded on your background research from the scientific literature.
