How to Begin

After establishing the opening premise, authors of a journal article are likely to include references to books, journal articles, and conference presentations. In the first part of the Introduction, there will be little detail about actual research projects. Instead, the references will be related to the overall question being addressed in the paper you are reading.

For example, in a research article about true and false confessions in the legal system (Russano, Meissner, Narchet, & Kassin, 2005), the authors began their Introduction with a very broad set of ideas:

goal of police interrogation;

power of a confession on jury decisions;

value of confession in avoiding trials;

prevalence of false confessions;

psychological processes at work in police interrogations.
