Writing the Introduction to a scientific paper

This course guides you through the process of writing an introduction for a scientific paper, paragraph by paragraph. You’ll learn what goes into an introduction and what does not, when to start writing it, and how to trim it to meet your word count. You’ll also learn what literature to cite in your Introduction and why, and how to craft a proper narrative arc.
