What do review articles do?
- Provide a comprehensive foundation on a topic
- Explain the current state of knowledge
- Identify gaps in existing studies for potential future research
- Highlight the main methodologies and research techniques
There are some journals that only publish review articles, and others that do not accept them. Make sure you check the aims and scope of the journal you’d like to publish in to find out if it’s the right place for your review article.
“Once you have the core review section written, take a step back and look for common trends that emerge. Highlight key advances that have been made and areas where more focused research may lead to high impact. These are crucial to show where the field is heading, and any common pitfalls people have struggled with.” – Angus Crake, researcherEach part of your paper deserves individual attention because each part has its own purpose. By using these 3 tips, you can write a great, "movie trailer-like" introduction that will make your reader hang on until the closing credits.
How to Write a Paper: Write the Introduction Last
In 2000, there were two trailers for the movie Cast Away that were released, one of which I’ve linked here. In it
Write the introduction last.
If you son or daughter stares blankly at the page (or screen), feeling anguished about how to start writing a paper, then this is the most valuable advice you can give them. It’s not possible to properly introduce a paper when you don’t really know where the paper’s going to go. If the Cast Away trailer was made first, and then the directors decided to kill Tom Hanks’ character in a nasty but action-packed duel with a shark, the trailer would be misleading, and thus a poor intro to the movie. Have your child write just their thesis statement at the top so they don’t feel like there’s a lot of emptiness staring back at them. The introduction can be written and inserted later.
Think from your audience's point of view.
This is easier to show, rather than tell. These are two opening sentences from my students this spring:
A: While reading Daniel Gilbert's article, “Reporting Live from Tomorrow”, it made me really question what makes people happy.
B: What would you do if you had a million dollars? Your answer should be: give $900,000 away. That will make you the happiest.
Both students read Gilbert’s article, and both students wound up writing about the relationship between money and happiness. But when I showed these samples to 30 students, all of them said they’d only want to read “B.”
Here’s how “B” thinks about the audience: it poses a question to get the reader thinking, it gives an answer that surprises the reader which makes them want to read more, and orients the reader to the topic of the essay (money and happiness). Invite your son or daughter to think from their audience's perspective. What kind of introduction would be enticing to them? What kind of question would they find interesting to ponder that’s related to their topic?
