Follow these steps:
- An Introduction is the first major section in the body of a formal document
- After you open your document, click the "Workflow" icon on the sidebar
- Add or modify an existing divider for the 'Introduction'
- Add the following template sections under the Introduction divider:
- Situation: explain the background to your topic (i.e., what is already known about it)
- Complication or Problem: set out the problem you are trying to resolve; this is sometimes called a 'gap' in the literature review
- Question or Research question: to solve the problem as stated, pose a single question that needs answering
- Answer, Hypothesis, or Propositions: what might be the expected solution(s) to your problem
- Outline: set out the expected approach for solving the problem. This generally aligns with each major section. for example "First we will examine..., next we set out..., and so on"
- Re-order sections or dividers; if required
- Indent or outdent sections; if required
- Double click on any section to open the writing editor
Tips:
- The Introduction can be modified at any time
- Use drag-and-drop to re-order dividers or sections within dividers
- We recommend using dividers wherever you might have a heading level 1
- We recommend using sections wherever you might have any lower level heading or images
