Points to be covered in the introduction to a research paper
The introduction to a research paper should involve the reader by answering these questions:
■ What was your reason for doing the research? What in general was the research attempting to find out?
■ What was your hypothesis or thesis? What specifically was the research attempting to prove?
■ What background information is pertinent to an understanding of the paper?
■ What literature is pertinent? What other studies have explored the subject? (Note that all literature must be fully documented. See Section 2.10 Referencing)
