How to Write an Introduction That Will Get Your Article Accepted

Date: Monday, November 3, 2-3 p.m. ET

The introduction to your article is arguably the hardest but yet most important section to write. If you don’t convince the editor and reviewers of key things from the start, your article probably won’t be accepted. A classic study by Swales shows that research article introductions tend to follow a specific pattern that your readers expect. In this one-hour webinar, Meagan Kittle Autry, Director of Thesis and Dissertation Support Services at NC State University, will explain this pattern, show you how to make its 3 key moves, and help you to make a stronger case for your research to get published. As a bonus: this pattern carries over to other important genres you likely write, such as grant proposals. Register
