Research Paper Introduction Makes Your Writing Meaningful

People say that first impressions count. Well, in terms of your research papers, your introduction counts. In fact, this part is quite difficult to write properly. How to make it successfully? What should you mind while writing your research paper introduction? 

1. Your research paper introduction should reveal the essence of your writing and state its purpose. Thus, you should start with some general information, defining some gap and stating that your paper will remove this gap.
2. Thesis statement is the most important part of your research paper introduction. It is a brief (really brief) depiction of your paper subject-matter. As a rule it is the last sentence of your research paper introduction. However, you may also put it in some other part of your introduction (except the first sentence, of course). Mind that your research paper introduction is a short trip from something general to your paper purpose stating. 
3. Thus, your research paper introduction should be precise, do not make it too wordy. Of course, there are no strict limitations for the size of your research paper introduction. The most important is to reveal the subject-matter of the entire paper. 
4. Of course, you should not try to simplify your hypothesis or arguments for the sake of saving words. Your research paper introduction should be very precise. Thus, if you need to say it in ten words, do not try to put it in two words. 
5. Of course, it may seem unnecessary to remind about grammar, spelling and style. However, many students make so many mistakes while writing their research paper introduction. So, do not forget to proofread your paper.
