The Useful Tips in Writing a Good Introduction

In writing a good introduction a few tips can be helpful:

1. Write after finishing: It is advisable to write the introduction at the end, as you will have a better perspective of the issue and will prevent missing points.

2. Keep it short: a good introduction is the one that highlights the objectives, outcomes and significant of research. You are going to make readers familiar with the field, not tell them a story to fall asleep!

3. The importance of problem statement: the whole aim of introduction is making audience ready for the important scene, research questions and objectives. It is extremely important that your readers know exactly what you are going to achieve. The importance of a clear problem statement becomes more, as later in discussion part you refer directly to the problem. If the problem is not clear, then discussion becomes unclear too.

4. Organize: start by writing an outline for your introduction. Try to link the parts with a smooth flow. You don’t want your readers to think that they are reading some unrelated pieces.
