What is the Purpose of an Introduction in Scientific Writing?
- Thread starter confidence
- Start date
In summary, the purpose of an introduction in scientific writing is to outline the main objectives, background information, and relevant context of the research being presented. It serves to provide a clear and concise overview of the topic, and to establish the relevance and importance of the study within the scientific community. Additionally, the introduction should also introduce the hypothesis or research question being addressed, and provide a brief overview of the methods and results. Overall, the introduction sets the tone for the rest of the scientific paper and helps readers understand the significance and scope of the research being conducted.
